Fair enough, but other competitors sell at a price quite close to ipad 2 and Samsung even dared to remove expantion slot, which fended off a lot of consumers.

Is it US alone? Because it contradics numbers mentioned
here by quite a lot (however they do mention 11 million units sold by Apple in previous quarter)
They state Apple "may top" 75% this year (others estimate it at 70%). So if Apple sells 40-50 million tablets, competitors should sell 13-16 million. So only 10% of them are sold in US? (Apple's smartphone market share is also higher in US, about 25% vs about 14% worldwide)
Note that last year Apple's share was about 96% and that many major competitors just joined the battle.
