Apple his owned the high end of the tablet market since the day the iPad came out.
As of earlier this year, the price of a fantastic brand new iPad is down to $300.
Android tablets never seemed to get anywhere. My impression, having never use them, was that the software wasn’t quite ready at the start and by the time it was it was too late.
Amazon attacked the low-end with cheap and subsidized tablets, taking up anything Apple didn’t.
The only thing that seems to be left are the $80 things that you can buy at pharmacies and other places. Sure they run Android, but the version is ancient and the hardware is garbage.
So basically only Amazon and Apple seem to be left at any volume.
Windows tablets obviously never took off, despite the fact Microsoft has been trying forever. The only “success” they have is convertibles, which are really Windows computers with detachable keyboard. No one seems to use them as tablets from what I’ve seen.
Your mention of the $300 price prompted me to take a look. I'm in the UK tho... and of course they've done that annoying thing of making everything more expensive here - £319 (~$425), so not quite as appealing :(
