The figures might not be as fantastic as first realized though. GigaOM pointed out that Apple’s numbers are an indicator of tablets actually sold, while the Android figures are just tablets that have been shipped to retailers - there could still be lots of Xooms and Galaxy Tab 10.1’s sitting on shelves that haven’t been sold yet. There’s also the issue of Android being so malleable that devices like the Nook Color are included in the figures. While it does run Android, it’s a heavily modified version of designed for e-reader use rather than as a traditional tablet.
