I wonder if these people still got credibility as analysts? I mean if that's your day job, shouldn't something as bad as predicting iPad or iPhone to fail be a huge hit?
I still remember the first iPads in 2007. I was totally one of the nay-sayers. "Who'd want this giant iPhone? This is silly, nobody wants a mini-flat-screen as a computer"

smtddr cannot imagine life without his Cyanogenmod KindleFire.... and thus stopped being a nay-sayer of tech. Except, I'll tell you right now smart-watches aren't gonna make it. ;)

It's hard to believe but the iPad is just over 3 years old, released in 2010. 2007 was the iPhone launch.
I was an iPad nay-sayer just like you. I still don't own a tablet but I clearly failed to appreciate the appeal that the iPad was going to have. I just couldn't believe people were going to find that "Big & Tall" iPhone appealing.
Just curios.
