Last year since the release of iPad, Apple had a lions share in the tablet market almost upto 95% (it still has one though), however the Android tablets are quickly gaining their spot. The current Android tablet market share stands at 22% and Apple’s 77%(I think the last 1% went to windows OS, sad news there). Reports are suggesting that Android share will only increase in the coming months as the honeycomb OS gets released with some shiny new tablets(Motorola Xoom is one of the most awaited one) and its nothing wild to expect.

Since the release of Samsung Galaxy tab, Android tablets have proven their credibility (Samsung apparently sold around 2 million of them since the release). Now we just have to see how the next instalment in the iPad series fares against the competition. All in all good news for consumers who are looking forward to buy an tablet, the fierce competition will only result in some amazing products from companies.
