Google’s Android OS has made more than just a splash in both the smartphone and tablet-space (with consumers) as it has captured roughly 20% of the tablet market itself.
Nevertheless, despite being a viable alternative to Apple’s OS; nothing other than a lot of introductions of alternative / ‘me-too’ plays within the tablet-segment have been put forth (aside from Samsung which as a result of their respective efforts have become the ire / target of Apple’s on-going litigation).
Capturing market-share is never a bad thing; however, being a follow (while an option for those that grow tired of only one choice) doesn’t equate to always improving upon that which debuted initially. In sum: dominance within this space looks to still be determined more by whether or not Apple stumbles (or consumers / developers turn towards other options, etc.) than anything else.
