Nielsen also offered up some updated tablet statistics: Apple’s iPad held its lead with an 82 percent share among consumers surveyed, while Android tablets lagged far behind. Samsung’s Galaxy Tab had a 4 percent share, Motorola’s Xoom had 2 percent, and Dell’s Streak had 3 percent. An “Other” category of tablets weighed in at 9 percent, but it’s unclear what devices were in that group.
As tablets become cheaper and more mainstream over the next few years, we’ll likely see a continued negative impact on traditional computer usage. But as someone who still isn’t convinced that tablets can offer the same level of productivity as a real computer, I’m not ready to call the death of the desktop/laptop yet.
