Any insight as to where Motorola is in share and units sold to date? Interesting that they're not showing up in the top 5

Looking at the original report on the IDC website... I guess they fall somewhere under the "Other" category at the bottom, which totals 12.3% this year -- down from 24.4% last year. I would have to speculate that Motorola isn't selling too many tablets, these days.

So for next quarter will Asus or Google get credit for the Nexus 7?
Oh, and please note we are talking shipments and not sales for anyone but Apple.

I wasn't really satisfied with my own answer to your question, so I went looking for more information... the best I can find is comScore data (based upon web usage analytics) from February 2012, which claims that Motorola had around 7%... of the Android tablet market. If their market share is that low even within the Android subset of the overall tablet market, then I don't imagine that they come anywhere close to the top five for all tablets. (I'll admit, I'm still not entirely satisfied with this rather disconnected speculative analysis... but there ya go.)

Gotta think this won't help Apple's lawsuit against Samsung... hard to prove hardship when your market share is growing. Then again their lawyers may make the claim that Apple would be at 80% if not for customer confusion. This news may never reach the jury, but I'd expect that Samsung's attorneys will introduce it.
So maybe it's out of the courts and back to the marketplace, where Apple should be fighting in the first place? These highly-publicized court cases hurt the brand... they smell of Microsoft. Apple should trust their ability to design, contract and produce gadgets that others can't touch for years. Forget the lawyers.
...now go do that voodoo that you do so well!

i don't think Apple is pursuing the lawsuit over loss of market share. They just want the unscrupulous competition to stop copying their designs. Tim Cook has said as much himself. Apple's products are thoroughly patented but the likes of Samsung just ride roughshop over them. Basically, the patent system seems not to work any more. If it does in fact work, then Apple ought to darn well win this case. If Apple wins and is awrded compensation, it will only add to their already substantial reserves. Any award would be more about giving the freeloaders a thorough slap and detering more such plagiarism.
