Conform with a new study published by Strategy Analytics, Apple has a staggering lead on the tablet market selling 95% of the total of 4.4 millions tablets sold this year. At a very distant second comes Android with its multiple devices and Windows tablets are somewhere in the fog, still finding their way.
This is spelling a big trouble for the competition, especially because once an eco-system is build and applications are available for basically every user need, it is almost impossible to overcome. While there is some hope for the upcoming Android tablets as Samsung Galaxy Tab and maybe even the upcoming NOOKcolor especially considering its $249 price), we can’t stop but wonder what if Microsoft has any plans, knowing that it was them that pushed the TabletPC concept all this time.
Maybe they should just hire some marketing power from Apple? Let’s not forget that Microsoft recently killed the Courier concept, the only device that in my opinion could have been an iPad killer for real.
