Android vendors back to phones after lackluster tablet sales

Branded handset vendors as well as OEM and ODM handset makers have tried to enter the market for tablets, currently held in a strong grip by Apple. Digitimes reports sources saying that the handset makers are now switching back focus to the 4- and 5-inch high-end phones due to lackluster sales for tablets. The only company who can claim to be at least semi-successful is Samsung with a 10% market share. Motorola, RIM, LG and HTC have been among the less fortunate. As a result of this, R&D for high-end phones are increasing, and for tablets a reduction is at hand. At least for Android.
