There are also other possibilities (not an exhaustive list): 1) many sheep went ga-ga over the "newest cool toy" - but after getting it for a while they found it too limiting overall and are returning to purchasing true general purpose devices. 2) many had limited budgets for "new toys" - buying the latest "cool new toy" blew out the budget so the other "toys" saw a drop in purchasing. Now, after having purchased one of the "new toys" they don't need a second tablet, and/or have found they still need a PC afterall.
