$450 is still pretty expensive for something that doesn't really rate against an iPad :/

  Reality (and sales figures) disagree with you: http://www.statista.com/statistics/276635/market-share-held-by-tablet-vendors/ http://www.statista.com/statistics/276635/market-share-held-... (I personally dislike tablets as a form factor and have both an iPad and Android tablet gathering dust, but people do seem to keep buying Android tablets.)

    How large part of the Androids sold today are anywhere high end, with an acceptable screen? Is there a good selection of software these days which works well on a larger screen for Android? (I'm a staunch iOS user, waiting for an Ubuntu tablet with Emacs and Bash. How is the Linux support for the Surface?) Edit: To answer the brother comment from Galago, I mainly want a full size tablet for PDFs with A4 sized documents. Otherwise I could use a phablet phone.

    Your link doesn't imply that. It suggests that "other" is the category replacing iOS in the market, which are no-name brands. Its not a trend where consumers are paying $450 for a Google product, but one where they're paying $200 for something generic. Amazon and the other players are just holding their ground. On the Apple side, I know people who bought the larger iPhone no longer felt a need for an iPad. I'm sure the same trend is true for Android, so its unclear who exactly is still buying tablets. Could it be people in markets/demographics where they can't get/afford full-featured phones?
