Not Another Mobile Phone Blog

Yeah, yeah, I know that this blog is all about mobile phones and writing something on tablets looks odd. But hey, everybody these days is going crazy about tablets and I am no different. I don't own one but I have seen many is the last couple of months and I definitely like them and want to own one of them ASAP. OK enough of reasoning about why am I writing an article on Tablets. We all know that, 2010 saw two big trends emerging, first being the birth of Apple's tablet called the iPad and second trend was what happened after the iPad hit the market, went mainstream and drove people including Apple's direct and indirect competitors crazy. Everybody is talking about tablets, tablet Apps, tablet focused OSs. Apple emerged as a mainstream winner in 2010 when it comes to tablets. Like it happened in the case of iPhone, the moment iPad made carrying a "tablet" a cool thing, Samsung, HTC, Motorola and other small, medium, clone OEMs started talking and selling tablets. Android was the preferred and still is the preferred choice for tablets. Also guys who back Android (you cant take their name, I have learnt that they are very evil), backed OEM demands and came up with tablet specific version of Android. In 2010 iPad made tablets come back and that also with a big bang but iPad as a tablet still rules even if you have tablets running on other OSs, especially Android (BTW they are also doing good, but the craze for an iPad is different, very very different). According to a latest insights from an ABI Research report , “Netbooks, MIDs, Media Tablets, and Mobile CE Market Data,” 4.5 million tablets shipped in the third quarter of 2010 and hold your breathe guys, 93% of these were iPads....suck that BIATCHES!! That’s a fukin huge number man by any standards. After looking at all these numbers and other reports that keep floating around on the Internet, I tend to disagree with the Chinese calendar, which told me that 2010 was the year of the Tiger, sorry man, for most of us, it was year of the tablets sorry, I mean Year of the iPad.
