Analysts Serving iPad Claim Chowder So Soon?
Thursday, January 26, 2012 at 8:24AM From Electronista:
The Amazon Kindle Fire may have saved Android’s share of tablets, Strategy Analytics reckoned from its calculation of shipments. Although the research firm didn’t break down individual model numbers, the known strong Kindle Fire sales could be credited to Android more than tripling tablet shipments versus a year ago, to 10.5 million units.
Actually, according to the “strong Kindle Fire sales” link above (emphasis mine):
It marked over four million combined sales of the Kindle Fire and Kindle line in December, including the regular touch and e-paper models.
We don’t know what the Kindle Fire sales actually were and we probably won’t until January 31st, when Amazon has its Q4 2011 results call. But regardless of the results, the iPad is in no danger.
You can find the proof in the delicious pudding made of pure cash.
