Article from the Wall Street Journal about Apple’s 95% market share in the tablet market.

Right now Apple controls 95% of the tablet market with their iPad, only released earlier this year. Analysts say that Android, which decreased from 2.9% to 2.3% market share this quarter, will gain market share in the upcoming quarter as new devices running their OS are released. How long can Apple hold onto their lead in the tablet category?
I believe they will maintain majority market share of the tablet market for the foreseeable future as they continue to update and innovate their iPad lineup. The new iOS 4.2 for iPad should be coming out this coming month and will add a bunch of new features such as AirPlay and wireless printing. Apple will only continue to improve their iOS and the device itself, leaving competitors in the dust.
Long live the Apple iPad!
disclosure: I am long AAPL and I own a 64GB 3G iPad. =)
