The Samsung Galaxy Tab has officially sold a million units globally in a span of merely two months since the product was introduced outside the United States plus with the four largest wireless US carriers introducing the product in their sales inventories in the middle of November. The Apple iPad , meanwhile, was able to sell a million units merely a month since its introduction into the market back in April. Still, the 7-inch touchscreen Galaxy Tab with Android platform proves that it is indeed almost as popular as its bigger-screened rival by Apple.
Most of the sales occurred during Thanksgiving, albeit Samsung is reluctant to share details on Galaxy Tab purchases. A spokesperson for the company meanwhile confirmed that worldwide sales had indeed reached a million units sold. Individual carriers say that sales of the Galaxy Tab proved a great deal of positivism, but likewise refused to divulge on detailed sales figures for the product. Still, the 9.7-inch touchscreened iPad is dominating much of the tablet market, having sold at least 4 million by the end of Apple’s fourth quarter which was fell on the last day of October.
Business analysts suggest that over 8 million Apple iPads have been sold to date since its introduction into the tablet market, which is quite impressive despite most of that period falling way before the holiday season. Meanwhile, the partnership between Samsung and Google’s Android mobile is proving to be the biggest winner with such an unexpected success with the Galaxy Tab. Meanwhile, individual carriers are also selling Samsung’s Galaxy S smartphones as part of Samsung’s campaign to enlarge its clout in the US.
