Competing with Apple in the mobile space isn't rocket science, it's just a matter of sticking to a proven formula for success -- build a premium device with superior specs than the one Apple is selling, inject it with Android, and then undercut the iWhatever in price. That's not to say Apple is the only premium device target of opportunity but we'd surmise Apple would consider it the sincerest for of flattery anyway.

Incidentally, we've just described the ASUS ZenPad S 8.0. It's a well designed Android tablet with Intel inside, boasts better specs than the iPad mini 3 and a gorgeous 2048X1536 display.
