NPD: Apple Still Leads Tablet Shipments, But The Fight For Second Place Rages On

Another day, another take on Amazon and Apple duking it out in the tablet market. The data comes from NPD?s DisplaySearch wing, and the results don't come as much of a shock. By their count, Apple is still sitting at the top of the heap, accounting for 59.1% of the tablets shipped in Q4 2011 while Amazon is sitting pretty in second place with 16.7% of tablet shipments under their belt.

At first glance, the results seem very similar to those announced by iSuppli this time last week ? the only major shift is that iSuppli has book retailer Barnes & Noble slightly ahead of Asus.
