Up until September 2010, Apple iPads accounted for 95% of tablet computer sales, according to research firm Strategy Analytics.By the end of 2010, that figure had fallen to 75%, said Strategy Analytics.

You can also buy an adapter to output a mirrored image of whats on the iPad 2 to a TV via HDMI @ 1080p. There is even talk of maybe the iPad 3 later this year or an iPhone 5 but who knows. Could we see anything else this year  from apple realting to this.
