Android tablet market share now up to 62%

In the early stages of the Google I/O 2014 keynote, Google's Sundar Pichai, updated us on a few facts and figures on how well Android devices are doing around the world. Of particular note, Android tablets continue to be on the up-and-up and now account for 62 percent of the total tablet marketshare.

That's up from 46 percent 12 months ago and 39 percent at the same point back in 2012 and illustrates the continued growth of the Android tablet. YouTube tablet usage is now also up to a new high, with 42 percent of it coming from Android tablets. Tablet app usage has increased 236 percent year-on-year to date. Impressive.

The Google I/O keynote continues so be sure to join us in the liveblog!
