Depending on what market you are looking at, Apple controls ~68 – 72% of the tablet market. That is a level of singular dominance well beyond the monopoly of Google Search, as a comparison. And the funny thing is, I STILL don’t trust the Samsung numbers, so the iPad share might be higher!

Of course, with the successful launch of the Google Nexus 7 (and countless tales of difficulties trying to return or exchange same), we can expect to see the numbers shift somewhat – though it is pretty clear that sales of the Nexus 7 will obliterate the Kindle Fire and Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 2 more than the iPad. (Meaning, if Samsung doesn’t take a share nose-dive next quarter, I am calling BS on these survey numbers worse than ever!)

Anyway, after my own recent flirtation with the Nexus 7 (full report coming soon), I was thrilled to return to the iPad. Why? Because as I have said, it is my 80% computer. All of the productivity apps I use are more ‘tablet centric’ on iPad than Android, every game comes to iOS first, and while music production apps are in their 3rd generation on iPad, the category doesn’t exist on Android due to OS inadequacy.

In other words … the iPad is my 80% computer because I can do it ‘all on the iPad’. So it was very fitting this week to see a new commercial from Apple (fortunately unlike those awful ones from the Olympic Opening), which is called … ‘All on iPad’.

Here is the voice-over text:

Read it. Tweet it. Be surprised. Be productive. Make a sale. Make some lunch. Make it movie night. Play a game, or an old favorite. Do it all more beautifully, with the Retina display, on iPad

I have loved technology for as long as I can remember - and have been a computer gamer since the PDP-10! Mobile Technology has played a major role in my life - I have used an electronic companion since the HP95LX more than 20 years ago, and have been a 'Laptop First' person since my Compaq LTE Lite 3/20 and Powerbook 170 back in 1991! As an avid gamer and gadget-junkie I was constantly asked for my opinions on new technology, which led to writing small blurbs ... and eventually becoming a reviewer many years ago. My family is my biggest priority in life, and they alternate between loving and tolerating my gaming and gadget hobbies ... but ultimately benefits from the addition of technology to our lives!

  1. I have owned and sold a Motorola Xoom and Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, have owned and returned a Motorola Xyboard 8.9, and am in the process of selling my Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7. Why? Because I bought a Verizon iPad which has a more stable Mobile Hotspot than my other Verizon devices and iOS has far better standby battery life. Also, although I love the ability to customize the interface on Android, I am no longer willing to suffer with the force closes, the poor (but improving) Google Market, and finally having to WORK to sync my OS X-based computer infrastructure with Android.
