First of all, before we go in depth on how tablets are now running the digital world (for the time being) let's dive into the history of how tablets got started. Don't worry im not going to go back to the 90's and argue about who made the first tablet and all that, i'm just going to take a look at what started the craze, the iPad. The iPad, apples way of "revolutionizing everything...again" I still think its a worthless POS, seeing that my 300 dollar netbook can do all the ipad can and more. Regardless of what I think, the iPad took off like a skyrocket, being snatched up by blonde stupid soccer moms, rich "Too cool for you" teenagers, Apple fanboys, and iJustine. (I swear, she must've bought a couple hundred just so she can drool on the boxes)
Upon seeing the rampant success of the ipad, other companies such as Samsung jumped in with tablets running windows OS or android OS. These tablets were somewhat sucessful, so even MORE companies jumped on the bandwagon, and now we have a sea of tablets each running their own OS's and the only one thats really still selling is the iPad.
Now you may be asking "But why do these tablets that are more powerful and compatible then the iPad be dying out while the iPad sells millions. Well the answer to that is the audience, remember the soccer mom's and teenagers earlier? These people are the audience that was brought in by the iPad, and those are the people who are buying them all up (it's also reported that iJustine is trying to fill a swimming pool with them) The tech conscious people (like me) know better and are the only ones buying the good tablets, the problem is theres not enough of us and we dont have enough money.
