Why 2012 Will Be the Year of the Android Tablet

Posted by Soulskill on Friday December 23, 2011 @01:51AM from the we-all-scream-for-ice-cream dept.

lseltzer writes "The iPad has dominated the high-end tablet market so far, but that is about to change. At CES in Las Vegas in a couple weeks you will see tablets running Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) everywhere and at prices that will make an iPad a lot harder to justify. The competition from the OEM model in the Android markets will massively shift market share away from Apple, just as it has done in the smart phone market."
