The new Apple iPad |
Apple's own numbers for the quarter (which is its second fiscal quarter) were a little more conservative than NPD's. The Cupertino based firm says that it shipped 11.8 million tablets for a 151% gain year-over-year. The Apple iPad has become the most important product in the company's mobile PC device lineup. According to NPD, 4 out of every 5 mobile PC devices being shipped by Apple is an iPad.

Nice, but we could use some more variety, Windows 8 tablets should help.

Yeah, wish it came quick. Tired of people considering an oversized iPod Touch a tablet and Android just lacks development and apps. Microsoft need to show them how it's done, a touchscreen device with the full functions of a PC.

Yeah Microsoft has a lot riding on Windows 8. It will become the ultimate gaming OS since you will be able to play your 360 games on it and it will be the best business tablet with Microsoft Office. Plus Metro style looks awesome.

Damn even a hopeless fandroid like you has given up on android tablets

Because unlike you, I am a programming student who wants to contribute back to the mobile OS society. Right now, I don't need a giant iPod to play games and watch videos, and even with all the productivity apps on Android, it isn't really productive in my course of study which requires me to code and design programs, something only a tablet with the capabilities of a PC can provide.
People like you should continue using your iPad and waste your life away, or hell, just die, more oxygen for the rest of us.

Yes, and because you spend $500 on a oversized music player you consider yourself rich, typical iDiot.

Hey taco just because I prefer Android on my phone doesn't mean I prefer it on my tablets. Right now I don't have a favorite tablet OS. Heck I have a Widows 7 PC because it runs the applications I need and I like Windows, that doesn't make me any less of a fan of Android. Man you really need to learn to be more open minded, but I guess that happens when you’re a sheep.

I have tried windows 8 sytle development and it still has many bugs and improvement needs. I think microsoft should workhard to fix those. Ipad still rules in next 2 years I think.
