LOL! Neither one of these platforms can even touch Windows when it comes to development, content, and availability of software. In fact, Windows destroys both in terms of available software. Considering Android tablets have been a failure so far, and it’s market a joke, Windows 8 tablets will kill Android tablets.

I don’t think 250m in 2017 is too far out there when you look at sales for 2011.

I think not. Unless they’re also counting laptop-tablet hybrids, which will take over the world.

With 130 million android devices activated, and only 1.2% of that being large screen devices, we are talking of just 1.56 million Android Tablets. Compare that with with 25+ million iPads sold, Android barely has 6% of the market, and thats rounding up (if you ignore any other carrier’s devices.)

Unless you want to consider unsold inventory as “market-share”, Android really is just as bad as HP and Rim in that market.
