tablet market is growing year by year, but now in its third year, no one can match the tablet market with the success of a series of Apple iPad. However, the competing solutions closely considered by analysts for its ability to provide competition to the “apple” products. Surface Plates series of dispersed 1.5 million as of mid-March, which was considered a bad result. But the situation with Google is not known, but the analyst Benedict Evans was able to estimate the number of Nexus-tablet.

So as Samsung, who produced the Nexus 10, did not disclose at the request of Google sales devices, Mr. Evans decided

to resort to open data. Since this tablet unusual resolution 2560×1600 pixels, it is designated as a display profile xlarge XHDPI. According to the official website of the data panel Android Developers, provides information about devices connected to the ecosystem Play Store, devices with such a profile only 0.1%. If we consider that at the end of March in the world have been activated 680 million certified Google Android-devices, about 680,000 Nexus 10 is in the hands of users. Thus, in the period from November to March, Google was able to realize almost half of their tablets than the “failures” Surface RT (about 1.2 million).

However, experts do not hasten to call Nexus 10 device failure. According to the analyst Forbes Ewan Spence, tablets from Google are not intended for general sale, and to get them is problematic, since neither Google, nor Samsung has not invested in any marketing campaign, either in retail distribution. According to Samsung USA, the tablet is officially available only in the online store Google Play. Major retailers such as BestBuy or B & H, do not have in stock Nexus 10. Believe in Forbes, Google hoped that the tablets will buy only the software developers for Android, as well as the category of “geek”, so the tablet did not even go into the general retail.
