If it were actually close, it would be different. But there's not a single reference anywhere on the internet that says Apple's tablet market share has ever been under 20%.

And the problem with your numbers is not that they are inaccurate it's that they are only meant to ONLY address the BRANDED market. I'm sure they are fine for that... they just don't help us any. I'll do the slow math for you again... YOU posted a Digitimes report that said 2012 Android shipments was 87 million. YOU posted a Gartner report that says Apple shipped 61 mil in that same time. YOU posted a Gartner report that says the total shipped was 116 mil. There is just one reference for the numbers.. your own posts don't line up. |

Just find me a link that says Apple tablet market share was ever under 20%. Show me that you're not the only person in the world who thinks that possible.

Anecdotally, Android tablet marketshare in my house has seen gains. It peaked at 50% one day when I borrowed someone's PwnPad to play with.
Since one of the Androids was on loan and the other was given to the household as a gift from the manufacturer. The two iPads were purchased and the next tablet purchase is likely to be an iPad. Hopefully this anecdote shows how ridiculous the market share argument is or, alternatively, the stats get included into this highly entertaining argument between two supposedly full grown men. |

I got my iMac, iPhone, and iPad 2. Everybody else here has Android phones and Android tablets, plus Windows PCs (that they expect me to support ). Luckily my daughters wanted iPods for Christmas. |

I have an iPad 1. It's great for surfing around.
Have a Sammy Note that I do all manner of things with. I like the Note better, but whatevs. I am having some issues with this iPad crashing constantly on safari or chrome. Googled the issue and made some changes that have decreased the frequency, but not totally repaired the issue. Not huge. Just annoying. |

I have an iphone 4 (gonna upgrade soon to a 5 probably) I also have a Google Nexus 10. I like both devices.
My neighbor has a Galaxy 4 and that shit feels like a plastic toy. I like the way the Iphones just feel. It feels like its built sturdy and not cheaply. Odd thing is my Nexus 10 feels pretty damn sturdy. I guess its just the Samsung phones that feel like they are cheaply made |

My wife has a Galaxy S4 and I don't see how you can call it a phone. It's too big.
I call it a phablet. |

AustinChief, do you have any new information? Our bet ended quite some time ago.

Yeah, you should be fine for a while. My first gen still hums along for netflix and the battery is still pretty amazing. My less than six months old Nexus 7 will go two days without a charge while the first gen iPad gets charged maybe once every two weeks.
