NPD recently published the results of their Q1 2012 mobile PC market research, and as you might expect, Apple's iPad has dominated competing mobile PC manufacturers. After shipping 17.2 million iPads in the quarter, Apple has claimed 22.5% market share, compared to HP's 11.6%, Acer's 9% and Lenovo's 7.7%. Among tablet manufacturers, the iPad commanded 62.8% market share, followed by Samsung with 7.5%, Amazon with 4%, and RIM tied with ASUS with 2.3%.

HP CEO admits Apple may overtake their PC volume... if you count iPads

By Simon Sage, Monday, Jan 16, 2012 a 1:40 pm

HP CEO Meg Whitman admitted in a recent interview that if you count tablets, Apple may very well bust past them in PC sales after holiday sales are tallied up.

That would put it over the 14.7 million that HP had churned out last quarter, and well ahead of other manufacturers like Acer, Dell, and Lenovo. Of course, if you don't count the iPad, and only Mac sales, Apple falls well behind the whole lot. Over the holidays, it's estimated Apple cleared little over 5 million Mac units.

A classy Olympics app is postworthy, sure, but what makes this app very interesting is that it's been developed by Zumobi -- note the tell-tale 'Z' in the screenshot, note also that, ah, Zumobi is the developer. Why is this significant? Zumobi is a company that specializes in creating a neat 'tiled content' app for Windows Mobile. Ok, so?
