VentureBeat have posted their report on IDC’s quarterly tablet sales tracker, and like Business Insider before them, they were content to simply publish screen shots of IDC’s tables.
Here at Global Nerdy, we like to do a little more to help you better understand the numbers. So here are:
- Some nicely-formatted versions of IDC’s tables
- The data from those tables turned into graphs
- A downloadable spreadsheet so that you can play with IDC’s numbers.
Enjoy!
