The Samsung Galaxy Tab has probably sold about 2-3MM units in the appx 6 months since introduction, though some of that is channel-stuffing, not actual retail sales. I think it is the most successful of the non-AAPL tablets, so far. The RIM Playbook has supposedly sold 250K units in the first month. The Motorola Xoom has reportedly sold about 500K units in the couple months since introduction, will soon be considered a flop. The companies in the Android tablet ecosystem are now starting to talk about why the initial round of Android tablets have not been successful, and about why the next round will turn the tide. Reasons cited include too-high prices, requiring carrier contracts, pre-Honeycomb O/S, etc, We've talked about being able to pick up liquidation Android tablets with good hardware specs including Tegra 2 processors for $100 by 2H11, and I think that is going to happen.
