Samsung's market share grew to 18 per cent, from about 7 per cent, as it more than quadrupled the number of tablets shipped to 5.1 million.

According to the IDC, Apple has 50.4 percent of the tablet market, down from 65.5 percent in previous quarter. Samsung, Amazon, Asus, and Lenovo, all took share from Apple during the quarter.


While market share may not be the end all and be all of business, loss of market share hurts any company.
Tablet share will change drastically with the Mini, somewhat with Surface. That is if anyone can find the former to purchase!
