"Customized Android interfaces, such as those found on the Amazon Kindle Fire and Nook Tablet, are popular and these two low cost Android devices likely were significant in improving the sales data for Android tablets"
In other words, the only successful Android "tablets" are those that are sold with every single identifiable Android trait removed, by companies that sell these devices as color eReaders, and are sold at a loss with the hopes of making it up later with content sales.
"We will also see Windows 8 coming later this year"
This is the only hope we as consumers have that there will be choice in the tablet market. If Microsoft and their OEMs fail, it's over. Our choices in the tablet market for the next 20 years will be "Do I want to buy the latest generation iPad or save $100 and buy last year's model?"
It is a sick market. We all lose.
