A report from Context is showing that the 64GB iPad 2 is still the most popular version of the Apple tablets even though Android devices are beginning to make in-roads to Apple’s majority market share. Six weeks since the launch of the 64GB 3G model that in Europe alone accounted for a third of all the iPad 2 sales and the Wi-Fi only 16GB model was second in popularity. Apple’s iPad devices comprised a whopping 80% of tablet devices sold in the first quarter of 2011. However, this figure represented a 5% decrease from the previous quarter, highlighting the growing popularity and number of Android devices.

“Apple defined the tablet market with the launch of the iPad in May 2010, but the signs are that the hegemonic presence in the market will face a strong challenge this year,” said Salman Chaudhry, mobile computing analyst at Context.

With new Android devices coming out it will be interesting to see if Apple can continue the domination in the market. Time will only tell how long the market share will hold.
