settled in with a 29.7 percent share of the pie, while some 36.6 percent of these shipments were accounted for by other major brand vendors. White box vendors enjoyed a considerable share of 33.8 percent. Of particular interest are the 8-inch models, as this is the form factor almost all Windows powered tablet makers have chosen. The Acer Iconia W4, Dell Venue 8 Pro, Toshiba Encore 8, Lenovo IdeaTab Miix 2 and more all make use of this screen size. So anyway, the 8-inch devices accounted for 7.6 percent total revenue in Q4 2013. Compare this to the corresponding figures of 31 percent for 7-inch models, 25.4 percent for 9-inch ones, and 15.8 percent for 10-inch slates, and it becomes clear that the market is still very open for the taking.]]>
