Apple still has, by far, the strongest selling tablet, with the iPad outselling the next tablet by an 11:1 margin, but a large amount of new Android releases are starting to chip away at the share.

Fortunately for Apple,their market share will continue to fall. The only option available to them will be to Open-source their proprietary hardware, get out of the law court scandals and scrap the iPad all-together.

Is it any wonder the IPad is declining in sales. They are an overpriced toy, and nothing more. What can do they a laptop can't? And laptops are half the price. Also Android are cheaper and offer almost all there apps FOC. I think products like Apple will have a short shelf life in the future market of penny pinching and being forced to work hard for every penny by managers and businesses.

Would love to hear your reasoning. Every title, from mine and Rich's articles are accurate. Also, it is "lose" not "loose." We understand you don't like hearing anything about Apple in a bad light, but to go to EVERY article and call it misleading without ANY backup is childish.

If Android was the market leader and they were losing share, the title would be "Android's tablet market share continues to fall." Would you be complaining then? Or would you rather the title say, in that case, "Apple gains tablet market share"?
