Don’t count out the iPad competitors

Amidst reports that the Samsung may be touting overstated numbers for sales of its Galaxy Tab tablet — and reports that those that do buy the device are returning it at an upsetting rate — one might jump to the conclusion that Apple has slight to be worried about in the way of competitors to its iPad.

While Apple sold nearly 15 million iPads in 2010 and closed the year with 75% market share in the tablet space, that was down from 95% in the third quarter of 2010, before the Galaxy Tab went on sale.
And regardless of whether or not the Galaxy Tab is a hit or a dud — Samsung claims its return rate is actually 2% — a slew of superior Android devices are about to invade the market — not to mention offerings from other players including RIM and Palm.
One advantage that upcoming tablets like the Motorola Xoom have on the Galaxy Tab is that they’ll be using Honeycomb, Google’s operating system that’s optimized for tablets that was officially revealed on Wednesday.
Believe it or not, the Galaxy tablet is running an older version of Android that’s designed to run on smartphones, which basically renders the device as an inelegantly sized Galaxy S.
