To begin with, we have not yet seen an android 3.0 tablet in the market, what we have seen so far is videos demonstrating the features of Honeycomb and nothing else. Yes, both Honeycomb and some of the tables look great and promising but it’s really too early to tell if the consumers will forget their first love and move to android for their tablet PC needs.

On the other hand, Apple managed to keep their cards hidden and we do not know how many aces they have on their sleeve for the next version of IPad. During the days of CES 2011 they kept quiet leaving Android fans enjoy their 5 days of glory.

So, where does the tablet market heading, to Apple or Google? The only way to predict the future of the tablet market is to base our assumptions on facts:

1.One Device VS a lot of devices

The ipad is only one device while Android 3.0 will run on a number of devices from trusted hardware manufacturers such as Motorola, Asus, Lenovo, Toshiba and many more. This fact alone creates an advantage for Android 3.0 which can satisfy the taste of a wide variety of users both in hardware specs (7 inch – 10 inch) but also price.

2.Tablet Software

The Apple app store has 300,000+ applications ready to run on the iPad while the android market is still behind especially when we talk about applications for Android 3.0 tablets. The majority of the android market apps are for phones only and it will take some time for developers to optimize their applications for android 3.0 and tablet usage. During that period is the time that Apple has to go a step further otherwise the android market will catch up and once it does it will be too late for Apple to make a move.

3.Market domination

Recent history suggests that no company owns a market. If we go a year or so backwards we will find the iPhone dominating the smartphone market and Android scoring less than 10% share. One year later Android stole the pole position from Apple and there is still room for expanding this further.

4.Customer loyalty

Apple has loyal customers. It is a fact that everything that Apple produces sells millions from the first days and the majority of Apple users do not betray Apple for other products. Nobody though can be certain that this will continue for tablets. Google seems to be very serious about the future of Android and when the big search giant wants something it has all the means and resources to get it.
