iPad Maintains Iron Grip


Apple’s iPad will account for 73.4% of worldwide media tablet sales in 2011, down from 83% share in 2010, according to reserach firm Gartner. “Apple had the foresight to create this market and in doing that planned for it as far as component supplies such as memory and screen," said Carolina Milanesi, research vice president at Gartner. "This allowed Apple to bring the iPad out at a very competitive price and no compromise in experience among the different models that offer storage and connectivity options.”

“So far, Android’s appeal in the tablet market has been constrained by high prices, weak user interface and limited tablet applications” Ms. Milanesi added. source: Gartner statement
