And the pace seems about equal all over the world. Even in China, where knockoffs are plentiful and competition is fierce (especially on the low end at sub-iPad prices), Apple is massively outpacing all comers.
According to China Daily European, research firm Analysys International pegs the iPad's current market share at slightly more than 72.6% for Q2 2012.
This represents a massive 20.06-percent increase over Q1's numbers. Normally, that's a jump you would see spread out year-over-year.
If Apple is gaining ground, others must be losing it. That seems to be the case for Lenovo and Samsung. In the Chinese market, the former (native) brand -- officially recognized as the world's second-largest PC maker -- is sitting comparatively pretty at an 8.38% share. But the Korean latter has seen its influence fall from more than 10% last year to a meager 3.59% since.
