- USA: Sunday, February 03 - 2013 at 02:19
According to research firm IDC, Apple continues to dominate in tablet computers, although its market share is shrinking due to growing competition from Samsung and others. Apple Inc. shipped 22.9 million iPads worldwide in the October-December quarter, during which it released a smaller version and updated its full-size models, up 48% from the same period a year earlier. However, Apple's market share fell to 44% from 52%, according to IDC. Samsung Electronics, maker of the Galaxy line of devices, saw shipments more than triple to 7.9 million, and market share expand to 15% from 7%. AsusTek Computer Inc., maker of the Transformer line and Google's Nexus 7, also saw shipments and market share increase, the report said.
