Thank You Apple, But We'll Win In The End, Says Dell

Here's a great quote from Dell's global head of marketing, Andy Lark.

Speaking at a conference in Australia, he predicts that Apple will eventually lose out in the tablet market it created with the iPad:

“I couldn’t be happier that Apple has created a market and built up enthusiasm but longer term, open, capable and affordable will win, not closed, high price and proprietary,” Lark said. “[Apple has] done a really nice job, they’ve got a great product, but the challenge they’ve got is that already Android is outpacing them.

“Apple is great if you’ve got a lot of money and live on an island. It’s not so great if you have to exist in a diverse, open, connected enterprise; simple things become quite complex.”
