Android Shakes Apple’s Boots Over Market Share Gain
With the ever-increasing array of Android OS tablets that have been blossoming since 2010, and more specifically with the Android tablet market share increasing tenfold in 4Q of 2010, Apple and their iPad have now reached the inevitable match-up. From around October to the end of December, Android OS devices held 22% of the global tablet shipments, a 2.3% increase from the previous quarter. Apple on the other hand has that little red arrow that points down, indicating its drop from 96% to 75%. With stellar Android tabs on the rise from Motorola, Samsung, Acer (and ASRock), it was the Samsung Galaxy Tab that drove the Android front upwards according to Strategic Analytics director Neil Mawston. Come 2011, tablets like the Xoom and LG G-slate will join the Galaxy Tab (perhaps even the Galaxy Tab 2) in leading the charge on the tablet frontier, and we ain’t against that.
