The tablet craze from a few years ago showed more signs of fading this year, with most major producers reporting sales declines, market surveys showed Thursday. "The rate at which the tablet market grew from 2010 to 2013 was unlike many other consumer-oriented device markets we've seen before," Reith said. IDC said Apple led the market with a 24.6% share in first quarter despite a 13% sales drop. IDC estimated that Amazon, which does not report detailed sales figures, sold 2.2 million tablets for a 6% market share, a drop of 1.8%. Lenovo held the number five spot with a market share of 5.7% for the Chinese electronics giant, according to IDC.
