Thunder in Cupertino Makes It Rain on Wall Street

Apple has announced the iPad will hit retail shelves April 3, sending the adrenalin surging through competitors’ veins. HP and several Chinese manufacturers have announced tablets in what might be perceived as an attempt to capitalize on the not-quite-a-laptop, not-really-a-netbook category.
