Android Beats iOS As the Top Tablet OS

Posted by Unknown on from the gnu-feeling-left-out dept.

sfcrazy writes "Linux is on a roll. After conquering the smartphone space, Android is now dominating the tablet space. According to a new study by Gartner, 'the tablet growth in 2013 was fueled by the low-end smaller screen tablet market, and first time buyers; this led Android to become the No. 1 tablet operating system (OS), with 62 percent of the market.'" Also, everyone is buying tablets.(~200 million sold in 2013 vs ~115 million in 2012). Microsoft still only has 2% of the tablet market.

    Shitty 100 USD Android tablets that have crap spyware apps, completely unsuitable for any of the cool stuff you can do for music production or video on the premiere tablet platform?

    No thank you.
