Does Anybody Care About Tablet Stats That Don't Include The Kindle Fire?

Let’s find out! Research firm IDC released its Q3 2011 report on media tablet shipments today. You’ll recall that the Kindle Fire and Nook Tablet were not released until Q4 2011, making the firm’s report today somewhat less juicy but containing some interesting tidbits nonetheless. The company estimates that Android tablets will make up 40.3 percent of market share for media tablets in Q4, with Apple’s iPad slipping to 59.7 percent.
