Take my word fot it: these are Apple bashers!


The Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) iPad is the most in-demand tablet computer
on the market but for how long? One analyst predicts 2013 will be the
year the iPad finally loses it dominance in the market.

This popular device has remained steady on top since it’s debut on the
market two years ago. Unfortunately, they’ve been losing a lot of their
market shares to Google-based Android devices. The third quarter of 2010
showed the iPad had 87% of the market and the findings for the third
quarter fell 50.4 percent.

According to Finvista Advisors analyst Sameer Singh, this trend will
continue, especially since the iPad growth as been topped by the growth
of Android devices. This past quarter as been a slow one for Apple Inc.
(NASDAQ:AAPL). Thanks to the relentless iPad mini rumors, many people
were waiting to purchase the iPad.

Singh explained, “OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) have learned
from Amazon’s.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) model that diversified price points
would help expand the market and take share from the iPad. This has
resulted in far more broad-based growth, which is not only sustainable,
but should result in an accelerated ramp up of sales over the next three
to four quarters.”

Until recently, the idea of a “tablet market” was something many industry
watchers joked about — there wasn’t really a tablet market, there was an
iPad market. That has changed in recent months however, and it will
likely change further as pricing on Android tablets continues to drop.
Never has this been more apparent than in the third quarter, when market
research firm IDC reported that Apple’s (AAPL) share of the global tablet
market plummeted to 50.4% from 65.5% in the second quarter. Total tablet
shipments were up 6.7% sequentially to 27.8 million units in Q3, and
Samsung (005930) showed the most growth with shipments reaching 5.1
million units in the quarter, up 115% from the second quarter and up 325%
from the same period last year.
