  On the surface this seems slightly absurd. How could a market that began less than five years ago with Apple's (NASDAQ: AAPL  ) introduction of the iPad in 2010 be approaching mass-market saturation? Fast forward to today and both Apple and Google (NASDAQ: GOOG  ) have carved out dominant portions of what's now become a truly global market.
