Well, there are still quite a lot mentioned in threads here. And the market share we're discussing includes those 7" tablets.

1.2% of android devices have xlarge screens, roughly equivalent to the iPad.

Thanks, that was it. So, if, for the sake of argument, we assume that large and xlarge screens count as tablets that would be 4.3% of the Android devices that are currently active (assuming market hits in the last 7 days can be counted as a reasonable sample of all Android tablets), so on the 140 million that would give us a top end figure of about 6 million tablets.

Apple had sold 15 million iPads by March, and then 10 million more reported for Q2 2011, so we're looking at upward of 25 million.

Hmm. Fair enough. That would put Android up at 24% assuming all those large screens were counted as tablets (many will be large phones, I think, but at what point does it become a tablet).
