FISH!
The numbers are finally starting to come in for last year and it looks like the iPad took a huge dive in Q4 (compared to "other" tablets) but no clue how the numbers play out regarding our bet. I haven't had time to find accurate numbers much less to crunch them. IDC which (it appears) only tracks the big players and ignores white box completely had iPad at something like 38% so the real numbers are gonna be pretty close I think. My gut still tells me that I was a year too early and that iPad will pull around 20-25%. If I do lose, I owe you one of these right? |

Well every source I looked at showed the iPad firmly ahead. I'm pretty sure it's a done deal.
As far as what tablet. OMG does that come in green?

Counting white box tablet sales is absurd, IMO. Especially now that respectable Android manufacturers have hit what I'd consider to be "white-box" price territory.

Also, I can't believe Samsung has 13% of the market! Have they ever even made a decent tablet before?

Except that was the entire premise of the bet from my perspective. I was comparing it to the PC market's expansion. If white box and other tablets were to be excluded I wouldn't have made the bet. Unfortunately it makes compiling accurate data on this hard as hell to do. I'll start to dig into the numbers soon though... the final reports for 2012 are just now coming in.

Again, that 13% is misleading.. it's probably closer to 5 or 6% when you factor in ALL tablets. |

White box computers are completely different from tablets. With computers, you can throw together parts as cheaply as possible, throw on a copy of windows, and sell it to a consumer, and they're part of that ecosystem. With Android, it doesn't work that way. There are two market share areas I find interesting: -What ecosystem are people using (iOS, Google experience Android, Amazon Kindle, Windows (lol))? -And within official Android, what is the market share of the manufacturers? Beyond that, it's all white noise. |

Also, the White Box tablets have viable ecosystems and are almost all Android 4.0+. They aren't cutting edge but they certainly aren't all garbage either. |
