Android Vs. iOS: Will The iPad Suffer The Same Fate As The iPhone?
by Dividend Pros
When Apple (AAPL) launched the iPad in mid-2010, people were surprised. While Apple fans were happy to see a new and exciting gadget, there were also a large number of skeptics who questioned the utility of what they considered to be merely an enlarged version of the iPod. Now that the iPad has disproved its critics with respect to its usefulness, a more legitimate concern is that Google's (GOOG) Android based tablets would rapidly eat up iPad's market share just like Android smartphones are dominating the smartphone market. This concern is not new; when Michael Dell was asked in April 2011 whether Android tablets would outpace iPads going forward, he answered: "Not tomorrow. Not the next day. But again, if you look at 18 months ago, Android phones were like, "What is that?" And now there are more Android phones than iPhones. I don't see any reason why the same won't occur with Android tablets." Has that day arrived? Will that day ever come? Is there any reason why the Android tablets will not be able to wipe out the iPad's market share? These are the questions I will be looking at in this article. read more »
