iPad Rivals Don’t Hold More Than 5% Share

Apple Inc. (AAPL), set to release a new iPad tablet tomorrow, doesn’t have an Android-based competitor with more than 5 percent of the market, Forrester Research Inc. said in a report published today.

Apple, based in Cupertino, California, controls 73 percent of the market, while Samsung Electronics Co. (005930), Sony Corp. and Toshiba Corp. are among companies making incremental improvements to tablets without bringing services that cut into the market share, Sarah Rotman Epps, an analyst at Forrester, said in the report.
