Dell abandons its remaining Android tablets, 6 months after HP (AppleInsider)

Android tablet == endangered species

"The weak sustainability of low-end market share has claimed a new victim. Dell has dropped its remaining Venue-branded Android tablet line and will instead focus on selling conventional PCs and hybrid "2-in-1" devices running Windows, citing over-saturation and declining demand for slate-style tablets.
[...]
Those moves mean that three of the top five PC and tablet makers globally have distanced themselves from Android tablets, while Apple—the leader in worldwide PC shipments according to Canalys—has never built Android hardware. The fifth place tablet and PC vendor, Samsung, has seen its own tablet sales drop by the greatest number of units over the previous year."
