The tablet market in general grew 185 percent since last year, with the industry shipping 18.2 million devices in the first quarter of this year. Apple accounted for 11.8 million of those shipments, or 65 percent of the market. That's largely thanks to the launch of Apple's third-generation iPad and a price reduction on iPad 2 models. In contrast, Samsung Electronics shipped 1.1 million tablets. That puts the company back in the number two spot after Amazon's Kindle Fire shipments "fizzled" going into 2012, the report said.
Jeff Orr, ABI Research group director of consumer research, said this is the smartphones trend reincarnated, "Apple and Samsung have demonstrated staying power while other tablet vendors ebb and flow like the tide," he said in a statement, Only two manufacturers saw shipments increase in the first quarter: Research in Motion and Lenovo, RIM grew 233 percent, while Lenovo grew 107 percent, both off much lower bases than Apple, Shipments for Taiwan's Asus remained flat from the end of last year, Meanwhile, Dell, Hewlett-Packard, and LG are retooling their tablet portfolios for mid-year launches of Android 4.0 and, iphone case easy to hold later this year, the highly anticipated Windows 8..
The report also notes that tablet users don't seem to mind only having a 3G connection right now, but Apple will have to keep up the progress in order to bring on more users, as the iPad doesn't have the highest mobile-broadband "attach rate" -- i.e., the greatest percentage of tablets that come with cellular-data connections.

Apple's iPad continues to lead the tablet market, while demand for Amazon's Kindle Fire has died down considerably, according to a ABI Research report.
How do I know? No thanks to iTunes; although it lists the "top free apps" for various categories, those lists rarely show new or temporarily free items like this one, No, my information comes from Appsfire Deals, which is quite possibly the single best app for finding free apps, And it's free itself, Appsfire serves up four main categories, all pretty self-explanatory: Now Free, Top Free, Price Drops, and Me, Actually, this iphone case easy to hold last isn't immediately obvious; it's used to build an app wish list, When you tap the star next to any app listing, Appsfire adds it to your wish list -- and generates an alert when its price drops or it goes free..
That's a really handy feature. Suppose, for example, there's a new Gameloft game priced at $6.99. You know the developer runs occasional weekend sales and other promotions. By wish-listing the game, you'll be notified the moment there's a price drop. Of course, half the fun of using Appsfire Deals is browsing the Now Free and Price Drops sections, each of which contains apps organized into various categories: games, productivity, sports, utilities, and so on. You can customize which categories appear in each section, which is nice for keeping your feeds uncluttered with stuff that doesn't interest you.
