Worldwide shipments of tablet computers shrank anew in the second quarter of this year Boutique Femme Salomon Speedcross 3 CS Outdoor Hiking Trail Pourpre Orange , International Data Corporation reported on Monday.
A total of 38.7 million tablets were shipped during the April-June quarter,a 12.3 percent drop from the 44.1 million a year ago, the research firm said.
The IDC Worldwide Quarterly Tablet Tracker report has shown declining sales since 2015 when the once-hot market cooled.
In the second quarter this year, Google-backed Android software powered 65 percent of the tablets shipped.
Tablets using the Apple iOS operating system came in at second place, representing 26 percent of shipments.
Tablets running on Microsoft Windows software accounted for the remaining shipments Femme Salomon Speedcross 3 CS Outdoor Hiking Trail Rose Blanche Pas Cher , but there were early signs that device makers were warming to Windows tablets as a hedge against declining interest in Android, according to IDC.
Tablet makers are evidently targeting people who want to get work done instead of simply using devices for entertainment.
Multi-tasking and productivity have long been strong suits for Microsoft products.
"The market has spoken as consumers and enterprises seek more productive form factors and operating systems -- it's the reason we're seeing continued growth in detachables," said IDC senior research analyst Jitesh Ubrani.
"At present, it's difficult for Android to compete with iOS or Windows detachable products."
Apple remained the top tablet maker in the second quarter, shipping 10 million iPads to command 25.8 percent of the market Homme Salomon XT Hornet Trail Noir Bleu France , IDC reported.
Samsung continued in second place, despite seeing the number of tablets shipped sink by 24.5 percent from a year ago to six million units.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3 (Xinhua) -- The U.S. State Department said on Thursday that the United States will not recognize Venezuela's National Constituent Assembly (ANC) tasked to amend the Constitution.
"We are evaluating all our policy options (as) to what we can do to create a change of conditions, where either (Venezuelan President Nicolas) Maduro decides he does not have a future and wants to leave on his own accord, or we can return the government processes back to the constitution Boutique Homme Salomon XT Hornet Trail Noir Rouge ," the department said in a statement.
The United States on Monday slapped economic sanctions on Maduro, just one day after Venezuela held elections for the ANC. "By sanctioning Maduro, the United States makes clear our opposition to the policies of his regime," U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said.
Maduro rebuffed U.S. sanctions that targeted him personally, saying he was "proud" to be singled out by the measure.
"They sanction me because I call for an electoral process that is unique in the history of the Americas ... because I don't obey the orders of foreign governments? If that is so Boutique Homme Salomon Snowcross CS Outdoor Boots Noir Grise , then I feel proud of the proposed sanction," said Maduro.
"The threats and sanctions ... do not intimidate me... I have nothing to fear," Maduro said, adding that the sanctions serve to highlight the impotence, desperation and hatred felt in Washington.
The U.S. Treasury Department Boutique Homme Salomon XT 3D Wings Ultra Trail Jaune Blanche , which had slapped sanctions on 13 current or former senior officials of the Venezuelan government aside from Maduro, warned on Monday that anyone who participates in the ANC could be exposed to future U.S. sanctions.
The vote for the ANC on Sunday came at a time of high tensions in Venezuela, with anti-government protests organized by the opposition having led to more than 110 deaths since early April.
