For a long time after its launch, the iPad was by far the best-selling tablet on the market, and no matter how hard they tried, rival devices didn’t stand a chance of stealing its market share. But that’s all changed, according to the latest figures from IDC.
Android-powered slates saw a staggering 163% increase in the last year, and they’ve now overtaken the iPad and opened up a rather large gap in market share.
Summer’s here and we’re feeling pretty generous this month, so we’ve teamed up with the fine folks over at GearZap to kick off a brand new Cult of Android giveaway. You can win an awesome Samsung Galaxy S4 accessory pack worth £82 ($125) — which includes a Cygnett case, an SGP tempered glass screen protector, a Bluetooth speaker, and more.
Entering the giveaway is easy — just follow the steps below.

Well, it’s official. Samsung Unpacked 2013, “Episode 2,” where the Korean electronics giant will finally unveil the Galaxy Note III, has been scheduled. Samsung has today begun issuing press invites to the event, which will take place on August 4, two days before IFA 2013 kicks off in Berlin.
