- ZeroGravitas 16y agoSamsung seem to have really gored the Apple community's oxen by having the temerity to challenge the iPad with "a big phone" and an Android phone at that. This guy's estimating 225 thousand sales total and getting featured on Daring Fireball. This app stats & analytics company on the other hand saw 0.9 million activated in December alone, basically tied as the second best selling android device. http://blog.flurry.com/bid/54035/Android-Special-Report-Is-Samdroid-the-new-Wintel http://blog.flurry.com/bid/54035/Android-Special-Report-Is-S... Since Samsung originally thought they were going to sell a million in the last three months of 2010, then upped that target to 1.5 million I'd say they were doing okay. Personally I have no need for a 3G tablet, since I already have a phone I'm paying for data on and could tether, but those in the market for such a thing seem to like it as much as or more than the iPad. I did the research because I consider buying one to use as a jumbophone (this capability was removed for the US market) but it was just slightly too big for me. I'll settle for one of the next generation of 4.5-5 devices (and probably a cheap Tegra2 wifi tablet as well).
