Over the past year, the Apple company has lost more than a quarter of the tablet device market in the United States. Now it has a little more than 50%. 

The share of Android in the American smartphone market has grown to 49% in the first quarter of 2012, according to experts of the advertising company Millennial Media. So Google’s operating system continues to be the “king of the mountain”; also in the US, 15 of the top 20 mobile devices run on Android 

Potential tablet buyers are less and less interested in purchasing devices from Apple, according to Ipsos Mediact analysts, who provided detailed data on the current preferences of American consumers.
