The flagship Transformer Prime has delivered a textbook screwed up start. Considering tablets are primarily media consumption devices, international fragmentation is also hindering Android tablet adoption. None of these drawbacks are on the iPad (I own a Prime). There may be more Android tablets coming to market, but if they dont outsell the iPad by numbers (and they wont), the iPad will not loose market share.
So yeah, they are probably right. And the adoption rate of ICS is appaling.

Forecast up to year 2016…really??? Well I guess they come up with these numbers by knowing that there are way too many dump people to use Andriod OS and devices and rather stick with an old and innovative iOS platform.

I wonder whether this researcher took into account the upcoming crop of very powerful entry level android tablets, such as Google’s upcoming Nexus tablet?

Tech industry analyst iSuppli predicts that Android will be used by 75 million smartphones by 2012, up from 5 million in 2009.” The reality though was MUCH different – by December 2011 there was 250million androids… with 700,000 activations a day… and now almost 1million activations a day… Why does anyone even listen to these analyst?
