Developer does the math: only 3.4 million Honeycomb tablets in the wild?

Developer does the math: only 3.4 million Honeycomb tablets in the wild?

Google's rolling in the dough in no small part due to Android's success in the smartphone market. When it comes to tablets. Eh, not so much. Intrepid developer Al Sutton figures that only 3.4 million Honeycomb devices are currently in use, which pales in comparison to the number of slates sold by the competition in Cupertino. He arrived at the figure using Google's data - Larry Page said that there are 190 million Android devices out there on yesterday's earnings call, and the Android Developers website shows that only 1.8 percent of 'droids accessing the Android Market during a recent two week period were running Google's tablet OS.
