The International Data Corporation (IDC) today announced preliminary data from its Worldwide Quarterly Media Tablet Tracker. The study shows that total sales of tablets worldwide in the second quarter of 2012 is estimated at 25 million units, representing an increase of 18.7% compared to last quarter. This represents an increase from quarter to quarter from 33.6%, the company says data analysis, reflecting the rate of growth in sales of tablets in the U.S. is 66.2%.
Guess that was the best tablet?
Yes, the iPad . Apple has sold 17 million iPhone in the last quarter, surpassing the 11.8 million it sold last quarter. This volume also outshines the data obtained by the iPad the same quarter of 2011, which sold 15.4 million devices.
Tom Mainelli, research director for Connected Mobile Devices, said:
"Apple got with the launch of the new iPhone in March, ending the quarter with record sales of the best ever, surpassing even the impressive brand that achieved with the iPad the fourth quarter of last year.
The vast majority of consumers still prefer the iPhone to its competitors, and Apple is seeing an interest in the device louder in growth markets, such as education. Although iPhone sales began to suffer a slowdown in the markets and "mature" where the device was launched earlier, growth in other regions is clearly what makes the difference. "
Of course, the manufacturers of other tablets have also experienced serious growth in the second quarter of 2012. Samsung is second with 2.4 million units sold. Amazon followed with 1.2 million units. Asus sold 855,454 units, while Acer was in just 385,458 units, the only company that has fallen over the previous quarter.
There are two things to consider. The first is that the tablet industry is taking off, and all manufacturers who are in this industry are selling more and more tablets. The second is that Apple iPad has sold more than anyone, so he plays in another league. The iPad is selling worldwide. The iPad 17 million compared to 2.4 million tablets from Samsung is a world of difference. We know that the Nexus 7 has not been around long enough this quarter to appear in this study, but I unlikely to get a few numbers as good as the iPhone, despite its great success .
IDC predicts that, of course, in the second half of 2012 will be more competition.
Bob O'Donnell, program vice president, Clients and Displays, said:
"In addition to major new products from Amazon and Apple probably also expect the arrival of Microsoft Surface Windows 8 in late October.
In any case, it is clear that customers have many options to choose from this season. Consumers are a little puzzled by the differences between models of Amazon, Android tablets and various different versions of Windows 8 Surface and RT, could, by default, go to Apple, the market leader. "
I think the iPhone will remain king for long. Still, there is no doubt that competition is becoming stronger and stronger.
Do you think that any of the new tablet may the king iPad?
