Why is this not surprising at all? This is what happens and incompetent politicians cannot keep up with technology and innovation. Kind of like Apple, if you ask me.

They will probably adopt an exemption for tablets in 2015 when tablet sales will reach hundreds of millions of units sold.

Was that part really necessary? Immaturity at its best. Apple was done a lot for the smartphone and tablet industry. They kickstarted both, really. Neither were mainstream until their respective entrances were introduced to the buying public.

The iPhone and iPad are largely responsible for the uptick of adoption of smartphones and tablets.

Neither the iphone or ipad are responsible for the success of the tablet and/or smartphone industries. The ipod is responsible for that. If Apple had not come out with the ipod, then just as the company was before the ipod, nothing they made would've made a dent in retail or consumers mindset.
