There are 6 million Android tablets sold

During the AisaD conference, Andy Rubin from Google announced, that the number of Android tablets currently in the hands of end-users is 6 million. Those are only the devices, using Google’s services – there are a lot more, that don’t. If we accept last week’s claim that the are 3.4 million tablets running Android Honeycomb, that means there should be about 2.6 million ones not running the tablet optimized version of Android.

It’ll be interesting to see if the new update will increase Android’s market share in tablets as Honeycomb was just a temporary version, to be used while Google were developing ICS, which will unite phones and tablets. B. A.
