Over the past year they have seen their share price drop $50, from $75+ to a mere $13 recently (two-thirds of the total value).

“In 2012, XYZ Co have to build a better tablet [..] A REAL iPad competitor” I hear this far too often, and for all the wrong reasons. Whether it’s from die hard Google-Lovers like Gina Tripani, BlackBerry-centric tech-blogs or Apple haters, the top item on everyone’s agenda is to release an iPad level tablet at…
