Tablets Dominate
The story has shifted significantly toward Tablets. iPad interest leapt 31 points to second place behind iPhone. We added Android Tablets as a new category to track and, at 62%, Android Tablets came out comfortably on top of all other non-iPhone/Android products in terms of platform interest.

Perhaps the most surprising result from the report was this one: while 78% of polled developers saw Apple’s iOS as having the “best near-term outlook” (vs 16% for Android), a majority of the same group (54%) picked Android as having the “best long-term outlook” (vs 40% for iOS). As strong as Apple’s current hand is, developers can read the news, and Android has been making headlines lately as a growing threat to Apple’s dominance.
