Android thronging Apple tablet on the market

Apple and its products range iPad continue to dominate tablets, but predictably inferior position of the numerous models with Android on board. During the last quarter of 2011, the proportion of the latter increased to 40%. In the fourth quarter were put on the market 26.8 million tablets, despite the fact that for the entire 2011 their number amounted to 66.9 million units according to Strategy Analytics. In the fourth quarter, Apple retained 57.6% of the market, while a year earlier was 68.2%. It is worth noting that Microsoft has also managed to get their share of the market - that is running Windows 7 runs 1.5% of tablets, posed to the world market for the fourth quarter of 2011. Such a small figure, of course, can not be content to Microsoft, but the end of 2012 the situation will not change, because its hopes are connected with adapted for manual control interface, which will appear in Windows 8. The process of reducing the share of Apple devices on the market tablet was originally predicted by analysts, as one company can not control the entire market. And given the fact that Apple products have certain characteristic features in terms of software and do not refer to the budget segment, the growth process with the Android tablet is inevitable.
