Because android phones are not bad. Especially since the launch of the Droid, they've become incredibly competitive. After about 2 years, Apple's lost their clear lead and the market has started to produce competitors.

It doesn't look like the market has things which compete with the iPad just yet.

Really? As I recall, the iPhone had roughly a two-year lead before anything similar came out. In the case of the iPad, we're seeing clones coming out before the iPad itself.
