Apple sold 9.3 million iPads last quarter. If that is 61% of the market, then the entire market was around 15.2 million tablets.
Let’s say that apple actually sold your suggested 10.8 million of that same market. The iPad then has 70% of the overall market. So rather than slide from 94% to 61%, it slid from 94% to 70%.
That sound about right?
Could be... but RIM pulled a lot of the Playbooks off the market... so you'd have to adjust for that as well. And how many of the Android tablets are gathering dust while the iPads are flying off the shelves? I was at a Walmart last night... 1 iPad in stock... piles of android tablets... gathering dust. Yesterday at Costco... piles of Xooms... no one looking at them or picking them up. I asked the guy at the phone kiosk where they were on display... no sales worth speaking of. Customers were asking why Costco didn't sell iPads.
