Will wrestle the lead from Apple’s Ipad
-By Dave Neal
SCATTER CUSHION HARDWARE, the tablet computer, will make its way into most homes with the Android operating system in place, according to a report.
Informa Telecoms and Media said that despite its considerable hold on the market Apple's IOS based machines will start to fall out of favour with users over the next four years before being completely swept aside by Android devices.
Informa has gone into some detail about the rise of Android on tablets and has decided that it will really start punching its weight in 2013 before battling with Apple in 2016 and knocking it onto the canvas the year after.
"Three factors have proven to be decisive in the success and failure of tablets: brand; access to distribution channels; and product quality, including the application environment offered," said Informa telecoms and media principal analyst David McQueen.
"At the moment, the iPad leads in all three areas but Apple's edge is likely to wane as the quality of the competing products and application environments improves."
Although there are some low-priced Android tablets available already, Informa reckons that it will be increased availability that really increases Android tablet sales. It estimates that by 2015 some 230 million tablets will be sold every year.
