1. Sony
2. Toshiba
3. Lenovo
4. ASUS
5. Archos
6. Samsung
7. HTC
8. Dell
9. Acer
10. Amazon
11. Barnes and Noble

I'd say it's pretty obvious that these companies must be shipping lots of tablets. Whether they are actually selling is another matter. Right now, Staples is offering a $100 discount on several of these devices. My guess is that this is due to lagging sales.

Also, my point is that Google is still not making much money off Android. Apple, on the other hand, will retain their status as a manufacturer of class, high-end products, which is part of what keeps giving them record sales.
