The anti-samsung is complete non-sense. I guarantee some of you have Samsung monitors/TV's.

I've seen quite a lot of them. In fact, I've been surprised at how many Nooks I've seen.

Even if Apple have 90% marketshare, keep in mind that 10% is about the OS share of Macs.

That is to say, Samsung has 10% of all tablet sales. Apple has 70% according to the report. 10% is not a small chunk.

Well this may be different in every country. I am talking about Germany. Really, there are no other tablets here besides the iPad.

Domination!​

Wait when the iPad mini comes. The huge sucking sound is the air being pulled out the lungs of competitors.

Damn you, it's 3:33am and I had to force myself not to burst out laughing waking everyone up!

My substitute: *virtual laughter*

Remember kids: This is "SHIPMENTS". Not "SALES". Boxes sitting in a stockroom count.

Last time I checked Apple stuff flies off the shelves, so the shipments come close to actual sales like with no other company.
Pretty sure the sales ratio Samsung:Apple is even more favorable for Apple.

That has nothing to do with anything, they are separate business units altogether. Never mind that Apple doesn't compete with that part of Samsung... yet.

Also, its not non-sense if you own stock in APPL as I do. Samsung can suck it

Well, that leads to the question, "Why do people buy Android phones?"

A lot of times it's because they're cheap/free. When they are able to get a tablet and not have to deal with contracts and cell carriers, they choose what they truly think is better.

Agree, also the state of 3rd party apps on Android tablets is shameful, and Android in general has fewer high quality apps. I put Ice Cream Sandwich on my kids $99 HP Touchpad so they could have access to all of the Google Play Store's "great" apps and been sorely disappointed.

For example, there's no CSR Racing, no Walking Dead, no Infinity Blade I or II, the Weather Channel app looks like the iPhone app from 2 years ago! There's not even a decent Twitter app and none of the great educational, medical, science, professional apps, and no apps for special needs children you find for iPad. Most have scaled-up phone graphics and navigation elements that make them look low quality and give the user a bad UX.

Of course it doesn't help when Andy Rubin tells everyone at Asia D that phone apps are fine blown up on a tablet and tablet specific apps are unnecessary.. WTH Andy?!

it's safe to say the iPad is dominating, but apple has to continue to make it better if they want to stay on top
