Is The Android Tablet Market On Life Support?

The Android tablet market is on life-support, and your votes proved it - Android Authority. I still have an Internet enabled Galaxy S2 10 inch tablet. But, I seldom use it. I take it with me when traveling, and when I need to use it to read newspapers, magazines, books or to get quick access in a light format. But, the increasing size of Smartphones, and the decreasing weight of notebook computers have squeezed the tablet computer into a smaller niche. I do like that the tablet connects to the Internet by itself; my ultralight needs to connect to my WiFi device, which can be problematic. What about you? Are you still carrying a tablet. Will you buy one in the future?

It's pretty hard to rationalize buying an Android tablet when you can have most of the convenience of a tablet along with a laptop by buying a Chromebook. I haven't used my tablet much outside the office since buying a Chromebook.

Yes, I still use my two iPads. One is my primary device for reading and surfing at home. I take the other into office meetings both for scheduling and quickly looking up something. Laptops would be problematic and more cumbersome at home and work.

I will likely buy a new iPad when the latest version is released in the next several months.
