I call BS. Those who can afford tablets in China are few and that majority of electronics here are going to be Clones.

Would also be interesting to see what they define as 'tablet' because while riding public transport, the 7" format dominates.

Well, taking into consideration the population of China and considering that only 2.6 million tablets were sold there this year, of which 70.1% are made by Apple, with 14.1% marketshare going to two Chinese companies, which I presume are selling cheaper tablets, together with another 3.5% marketshare to Samsung (which I presume will also be selling cheaper models than the iPad), I don't find it implausible at all.

Also, the source of the article is Reuters, Zak didn't just come up with these numbers out of nowhere.

Apple is big in china because people are all name brand sheep there. Anyone with any money has to show off by buying name brand things. The perfect place where apple can sell their crap.

Tom's Hardware's article comments in a nutshell: Apple? CRAPPLE SUCKS, I WISHED IT DIED. Microsoft? M$. Facebook? Evil. Twitter? Who still uses twitter? AMD? Good for competition. Intel? My Intel processor is already fast enough. SSD? Needs to be cheaper. Wall Street? Corruption. Lawsuit? Patent reforms. Zak Islam? Fire this guy. Anything innovative? Who's going to purchase it? Android? Best OS ever, so much innovation, monopolize please!

Hivemind at it's best.

Those kiddies doesn't know that. Don't waste your time with them.

This article is paid for by Apple.

 

[icemunk]

I'm sure they're leaving out all the "noname" Chinese made tablets that sell for $50 or less.

 

[ojas]

Lol how many of those ipads were real apple ipads?

As biased as assuming that an article is false contrary to the evidence?

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

The market survey must be ignoring the cheap "made in China" clones that sells normally at half the price or less than Nexus 7 (yes the $200 Nexus 7) in China. Without a doubt most people are China are running those. Then come the more affluent crowd which have a lot of money to spare, and they bought iPad compared to other vendors. That's not surprising. But taking into account of the clones which all are them are running Android at the moment, I would say majority of the Chinese in China are running Android tablets instead of Apple iPad. If you want proof, I can easily point you all to the various blogs, website, discussion forums etc discussing those tablets. In fact, many of the more successful clones are even available in USA or Europe.

And by the way, the Ereneben that this article mentioned, is selling their tablet at almost the same price at Apple iPad. Guess how consumers will choose? Don't let this article misleads you, there are way more people using tablets running Android in China than iOS.
