Demand for Apple's iPad drove media tablet shipments to surpass netbooks for the first time in Q2, with 13.6m tablet shipments compared to 7.3m netbooks, according to a new report from ABI Research. With tablet shipments now nearly double that of netbooks, this marks a stark change from the previous quarter, when netbooks led by 8.4m to 6.4m.
