Comment on Research: Android taking over the tablet market from iOS

Comments

I'm sure a lot will say now that "It was inevitable. Android is made up of multiple OEM's, yadda, yadda...".

But I seem to remember not too long ago that "iPad was the iPod of tablets" or something, and therefore will always have 80+ percent market share. I guess that didn't turn out true.

You're absolutely right. That people could hold these two ideas in their head at the same time still boggles my mind:

1) Tablets are the future of personal computers 2) The tablet market is more like the media player market than the phone market.

This was absolutely a popular belief just a couple of years ago, although the people who said this have become quite silent.
