Why Android Tablets Failed

Today, when most people hear the word ‘tablet,’ they immediately think ‘iPad.’ In fact, Apple has held such a dominate position for so long that it’s easy to forget what the tablet market looked like before the iPad’s release. But that isn’t the case when

After going over the strengths and weaknesses of each, we’ll see how de Broglie’s crazy ideas about the duality of matter manifest themselves in the Bohr model, which we’ll use to (partially) derive the Rydberg equation. Finally, after calculating the Balmer series in order to show off how successful Bohr was, I’ll ruin the moment by explaining why Bohr’s model wasn’t complete after all. Some very important questions will be raised, and the answers… well, the answers will blow your mind in the next episode.


This video is less dense than the last one, and certainly less heavy on the maths than the next one. For those of you who paid attention in high school chemistry, at least half of the content here will be review. If this video seemed a little bit too basic, don’t worry, the next video will be the most difficult one in the series.


The goal here was to provide a setup for what’s to come, you’ll probably need to revisit this video a few times, since there are things that I mention here that will be explored in much greater depth later on.


Now that all the pieces are in place, though, we can finally get to the bread and butter of quantum mechanics in the next video. Stay tuned...


Although the iPhone has been very successful, Google was able to overtake Apple in smartphone marketshare back in 2010, and today Android dominates the global market.


So why did Google fail to replicate their smartphone success with tablets? Well, that’s exactly what we’re going to find out.
