In total, according to Good, iOS devices combined for 71% of all activations in the quarter, with Android smartphones trailing significantly at 21%.

Although the 12% drop could simply signify that new models are on the way, it's hard not to imagine that competitive offerings, including much lower priced "ultrabook" running Intel processors, are not having an impact on Apple's laptop sales.

Nothing announced or demo-ed today in New York by CEO Thornsten Heins and his team suggested this was a company looking to upend a market it once helped create.

Bezels continue to shrink. Witness the Droid DNA and Sony's upcoming Xperia Android phones. Just imagine how cool the iPad 6 or 7 is going to look sans bezel.

As new users unwrapped their new tablets from Santa, throughout the day app downloads measured a remarkable 20 million downloads per hour. By day's end, over 328 million apps had been downloaded.

Ironically, because Google loses money on the Nexus 7, shipping less of them actually has a positive impact on profitability.

While Amazon is going larger with the Fire HD, Apple thought small when it unveiled the iPad Mini ($329). Google, meanwhile, has been broadening its Nexus portfolio of mobile devices, unveiling a line-up featuring 4.7- ($299), 7- ($199), and 10-inch ($399) displays.
