How much of a strangle hold does Apple have on the Tablet market? Enough that HTC is willing to bow out gracefully. HTC beleives there is no place in the Tablet market for HTC , at least in the US. If HTC beleives they have something in the future they will reenter the field of tablets until then they are out.

We’re watching that market [tablets] very, very closely,” said Jeff Gordon, HTC’s global online communications manager.
During the past two years HTC has sold three tablets in the United States: the Flyer; the WiMAX-capable Evo View 4G for Sprint Nextel (NYSE:S); and the 10-inch, LTE-capable Jetstream through AT&T Mobility (NYSE:T). HTC no longer sells the tablets.
“It was a great learning experience for us, and they definitely met expectations,” Gordon said of the tablets. However, he acknowledged that Apple’s (NASDAQ:AAPL) iPad continues to dominate the tablet market and he said that HTC would only consider returning to the tablet space if it developed a product that could make inroads against the iPad and other tablets.
