Even if I like android better than iOS, the iPad with retina display is still the best tablet in the market.

Retina display
10 hours of battery life
More apps in the iOS Appmarket optimized for tablets
Extremely fast processor

A huge chunk (probably the majority) of that is Nexus 7.

If apple make phablet to directly compete with Sammy’s S3 and Note 2 will see prices going down. Or they can just put phone capabilities on the Mini and lessen it size to 5.5-6 inch, at put retina display. they’ll be back on top in smartphones category.

Market share for Androids may be higher, but it’s due to the fact that they’re trying to get some market share by selling them at nearly manufacturing cost, just like the Nexus line.
In short, wala sila masyado kinita para sa market share na yun.

If the apps for Android tablets do not improve, then we’ll continue to see Apple owning the tablet market.

As for the smartphone, Samsung in particular enjoys the big sales of SIII and Note 2 because Apple has no direct competitor for those 2 gadgets. That will be seen when Apple releases the 5″ smmartphone.

The Galaxy were bestsellers before, but when the iPad Mini was released, their sales went poof…

I’m a bit surprised by that Asus figure. I would think they had a better market share. These guys suggest this new Memo Pad is going to do wonders: http://www.asuseeepad.net/fonepad-me371mg.php

It’s a catch up game anyways. Apple isn’t going away anytime soon.

Tablet is still apple turps. Base on the tabulation, there is an increase in volumes compared to 2011. The tablet market is widening but apple needs to catch up in terms of their overall share. They need to tap those lower end market if the want to survive.

from IOS user in tab and Android in phone.

You can’t deny the fact that iOS is still the smoothest for a tablet, but not for the phone. But the trend now is the price point, who can shell the best specs at low price is the winner. Consumers are getting smarter and more practical. I give it 1 more year before someone can topple Apple from the tablet market.
