"Apple iPad Accounts for 97% of Tablet Traffic on the Web"

The Apple iPad accounts for 97 percent of all tablet traffic in the U.S., despite the entrance of highly anticipated competitors like the Samsung Galaxy Tab, Motorola Xoom, BlackBerry PlayBook, Asus Eee Pad, and others.

According to a report from comScore, Android-based tablets took up only 0.6 percent of all tablet traffic, while "other" tablets (in other words, the PlayBook), took up 0.1 percnet.

The figure should come as little surprise given that during a recent earnings call, Apple said it sold 4.69 million iPads in the last quarter and is, according to Apple chief operating officer Tim Cook, facing the "mother of all backlogs."

Apple's competitors now have more than a year and two generations of iPads to overcome. Will upcoming tablets, like the HP TouchPad, and anticipated Windows 8-based tablets, be able to tear through Apple's tight grip over the category?

In recent weeks manufacturers like Acer, Motorola, Research in Motion, and Samsung have all reportedly downgraded their estimates of tablet shipments.

The comScore report also captured tablet traffic around the world. Interestingly, the iPad dominates 89 percent or more of the tablet traffic in 13 countries (with 100 percent in Japan)

The Android crowd swore up and down the Xoom is k!lling the iPad 2. [pic]

Why yall not buying.

I feel sorry for people who bought the Xoom. They almost had me too for a second there, but Moto is ready to abandon you in a minute. I just bought the iPad 2.

Let's be honest, everything google releases is a beta.

I got the xoom and I love it,even the Ipad2 owners at my job was impressed and wish they didn't buy an I pad lol,but I told them at least y'all have alot of apps for it.I'm not really an app guy so I don't give a !! I just bought it for everything else which xoom is better at than Ipad IMO

I paid six Ben's for the xoom,how much is ipad2? I thought it was the same price

I like Apps, but I'm not as pressed about them on a tablet as I am on a phone especially with a full web browser and flash. As long as that joint can browse and play videos I'm good with the apps they have available. I wish they had HBO GO though [pic] Prolly copping that Acer HC Tab or the Transformer this week. Xoom is overpriced IMO.

The iPad 2 is $500 for the 16GB, isn't the wifi Xoom $600?

Yeah and it comes with a 32gig.I got the 3g version at Verizon,they took 100 bucks off of it for getting the data plan for it.

How long is the contract?

I personally like Android tabs more than the iPad. Opera Browser>Safari, and their UI is just so much nicer IMO. I love Apps though and the iPad is where it's at in that regard. I don't think Android Tabs will ever come close to the iPad, this isn't like the phones that are carrier specific, which is why I always (and still) believe that if the iPhone was on all four major carriers Android would have got lapped sales-wise. Just my opinion, we'll never know.
