What Does Market Share Mean?
The percentage of an industry or market's total sales that is earned by a particular company over a specified time period. Market share is calculated by taking the company's sales over the period and dividing it by the total sales of the industry over the same period. This metric is used to give a general idea of the size of a company to its market and its competitors.

I've come to the conclusion, that despite the title of your OP, some people are actually buying android tablets, and the number is growing. The ipad was just there first.

I also suspect that that is based on activations of Honeycomb as not all the individual manufacturers quote sales numbers.

Depending on the date when the values were estimated you may be right, but since the percentage is growing, they would be higher today. Can you give a quote for those values?
