While many companies are trying to compete in the new tablet industry, another interesting development came out from the Samsung camp as they release the Series 9. This notebook is similar to the MacBook Air which was released by Apple in 2008. Nearly three years after the release of their product, Samsung brings about something that is almost as good as the Air. I think this is a huge development for all the Apple competitors. While many consumers may prefer Apple, there are options to all of their equipment. If a person wants a specific product from Apple, that product is now available at another company.
I also think the gap has been reduced between Apple and other consumer electronic groups. It took years for a company to develop something like this in the notebook market, and the same for MP3 players. Now, companies are developing tablets much quicker with relation to the iPad. I think we are still ages away from someone introducing a new product before Apple, but they gap is getting closer instead of further. Maybe Samsung, or Dell, or Motorola's Google powered products can finally close the gap.
For now, Apple remains on top with competitors closing in.

I agree that the gap between Apple and other companies are definitely getting smaller. Now other companies come out with similar products to Apple's products very soon after Apple releases them. I think that Apple is much more advanced than these other companies, and will continue to develop faster than them. Also, because people respect Apple so much, I feel that they will prefer Apple over these other companies for a very long time.
