Just one more interesting nugget of information that has been mined as a result of Apple and Samsung sales figures that are being made public during their trial this week: Samsung Galaxy Tab sales figures in the United States are really dismal when compared to the iPad.
From the fourth quarter of 2010 through the middle of 2012, Samsung sold 1.4 million Galaxy Tab and Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablets, generating $644 million in revenue. Over the same time period, Apple sold 29.7 million iPads, generating $14.8 billion.
The numbers show that Samsung sold fewer tablets over that entire seven-quarter period than Apple did in its worst sales quarter. Samsung’s revenue for that same period was less than 5 percent of what Apple generated.
