Android Gaining on iPad in Tablet Marketshare. But, it is Still a Win-Win Game

Some people may find this hard to believe. But, there was a tablet computer market prior to April 4, 2010 (the WiFi-only iPad release date). Yes, it was a tiny nearly invisible one consisting mostly of niche vertical market tablet computers running Microsoft Windows or Linux. But, it existed. Apple rocked this market by turning everything on its head. Instead of using a desktop software platform, it modified its phone platform. Instead of focusing on input (filling out forms with a stylus), it focused on making the iPad a data (media) output device.
