BlackBerry PlayBook has 19% of the Canadian tablet market share, iPad drops to 56%
It’s a good thing there’s rumours of a smaller iPad coming to market soon. According to a study by the Solutions Research Group (SRG) the 9.7-inch tablet is losing market share to smaller tablets such as RIM’s BlackBerry Playbook and from Asus and Acer. In SRG’s quarterly Digital Life Canada study they state that Apple’s Canadian tablet Q1 2012 market share is sitting around 56%, a huge drop from the over 80% in Q1 2011.

Android 4.0.4 coming soon to Galaxy S II i9100
Bell’s Galaxy S II i9100 got bumped to Android 4.0.3 in May, long before that of its competitors, and now it looks like Samsung has started the ball rolling on another update.
