The truth about Android tablet sales

2011 has been designed to be the year of the tablet or slate in March in our homes would be irresistible.

So it worked that way, are really a tablet? And customers have taken up alternative iPad?

From our point of view on the market, the answer is a resounding yes, but a step.

On the whole, to take tablets as a format has been impressive, and there was a 400 percent increase in orders in tablet form with eXpansys in 2011 compared to last year.

We also saw a significant increase in traffic in connection with the release of iPad 2 in April, what kind of question is an important voice in the public consciousness. But in terms of sheer variety of consumers, the situation is also positive for Android, the endless line of new tablet arrives in our warehouse.

Those who want to experience free compressed using Apple never so good - no longer a case of finding something that can do the job on your iPhone, but find one for you.

Sales figures

But when it comes to public bodies, has become a much less rosy. Last month at the All Things Digital conference AsiaD, Mobile Google CEO (and founder of Android), Andy Rubin said there are now six million tablets of Android from the wild, the image showed he was familiar with the tablet Android is not " totally flop "than the iPad 2, which has so far moved more than 40 million copies.

Retailers, the public perception changes, and shows that the tablets Android are equally desirable that the iPad 2 remains our greatest challenge.

In the last three months, four of our five tablets are sold in Android, but there has been a shift to become the second most popular operating system in the same way as smartphones.

For example, the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and brothers who have sold well, achieving more than one third of the orders we had for the iPad.

But we had 20 times more orders for the Samsung Galaxy S II, our best-selling smartphone, and one of the best selling items so far this year in all. Android phones start considerably higher than that of tablets.

Android models still capture the public imagination (or trust) in the way of Apple a. However. Alternative to factors such as the Eee Pad Transformer was a great success with our technology experts in public, and the Galaxy Tab 8.9, may indicate the innovation that can excite the public board Android.

Why not clone the iPad? Factor that in place, manufacturers are providing credible alternatives, not only in the operating system, but also form seems better positioned to gain market share.

Not everyone has a tablet yet, but it is a form of which is here to stay, exciting new products on the horizon as the first processor.

If a manufacturer can produce innovative tablet a little 'less (we all remember what happened when the HP reduces the touchpad - we have received hundreds of orders a day), where an enthusiastic customer base ready to take the final step.
