[OT] Market Share

[Rob Cozens]

Mark, et al:

>What's the market share for tablet PCs?

I brought up the TPC in response to the assertion that Apple 
technology was "light years" ahead of Windows, and I don't have a 
clue as to the TPC's current market share...

	but I am willing to bet it will grow to make it the platform 
of choice over time.

And possibly it has a larger market share than the Classic Macs for 
which so many people want updated Revolution support?  Which has a 
growing market share; which is in its death throes?

And how large a share does it have to get before Rev developers find 
it necessary to add the disclaimer "this application is not TPC 
compliant" to software they distribute for windows?  When virtually 
every other WinXP application accepts input from the TPC input panel 
without a problem?

Microsoft provides sample C#, VB, & VB.net source code showing how to 
program ink input & manipulation and other TPC features.  The longer 
it takes RRLtd to provide TPC compliance, the greater the share of 
the market that will be lost to C# & VB developers.
