Shipped vs. Sold, Redux ★: Kevin C. Tofel, on a Strategy Analytics report that pegs Android tablet “market share” at 26.9 percent:

All sub-versions of Android are included. Yes, the B&N Nook Color tablet is included in the tablet figures.”

While that clarifies the definitions used for the analysis, it also muddies the waters for actual market share of Android tablets in use by version.
