I don’t know if you saw this coming, but Android has now surpassed Apple, at least in tablet form. A technology research firm known as Gartner has given a recent report saying that tablets for Android are 62 percent of the market share, and iOS iPads are now 36 percent.

I personally think this is kind of funny, because a few years ago, Gartner predicted that Apple would maintain its hold on the tablet market until 2015. So, who’s right now? No, just kidding. It is really hard to predict who is going to be on top a few years from now, much less a few months from now.

I suppose that the real winner of this is Samsung, which has increased to 336 percent in 2013 to have 19.1 percent share of the tablet market. I’m not going to say that Microsoft was the loser here, but their share of the tablets is 2.1 percent.
