New Data Suggests That Android Could Overtake the Apple iPad in the Tablet Market

It will be interesting as phones get more powerfulif Apple offers phones that dual-boot IOS and Android, or maybe they eventually figure out how to run Android apps & features on IOS.

Then they'd be the only phone that can offer both ecosystems. Hmmm....

Wasnt there similar discussion in 2010 with the smart phones? I wouldnt be surprised if the same thing happened with tablets. Eco systems....I wouldnt get an iPad just for the fact that I am heavy in the Android eco system. Some of my apps are higher costs ones too.

If I wanted to get a tablet.....being able to use the apps I already have on it is a big incentive to get an Android tablet. That and just like with the phones....the hardware and software keeps getting better as the months, years go by. The Fragments feature with Android 3.0 and higher is a great thing for Android. I like that they called it Fragment too...lol.

Exactly. Two years ago iPhone was still going to be king forever. Not so much the case now.
