Apple's share of the tablet market fell to its lowest point on record in the third quarter, ahead of the launch of its new iPads, a survey showed on October 31, 2013. Research firm IDC's survey said Apple's market share slid to 29.6 percent, its lowest share since it fueled the tablet craze with its first iPads.
