The iPad has looks like it’s going to walk away with the dubious distinction of being the most successful tablet of 2010, but then again it hasn’t really had much competition. The Samsung Galaxy Tab was arguably the first high profile Android challenger on the market, and its actually sort of amazing just how quickly they’ve been making up ground. News broke a couple weeks ago claiming Samsung had shipped 600,000 units, but we are now hearing reports of over 1 million sold as of December 3rd.
It still only represents only a fraction of the number of units Apple has sold, but it looks like this race is just starting to heat up. It will be interesting to see if adoption of the Tab stays strong, or if this is just an initial burst from the tech savvy who refuse to live under the rule of a benevolent dictator when it comes to tablet computing.
Are you holding out for new Android tablets or have you already picked a side? Let us know in the comments.
