An Apple Logo
Nobody can predict Apple's next big move, so there's a degree of foolhardiness in predicting that the company will ignore a growing, design-conscious and potentially huge market — especially when it nestles so nicely between iPhone and MacBook. And the company could issue forth loveliness here at the drop of a turtleneck: it has all the chops. But those low margins? That ultra-competitive market? In a form factor that won't really run the desktop apps properly but would be a very poor match for the iPhone's approach? Too many compromises. And Steve hates compromises.
