In the following video, Motley Fool senior technology analyst Eric Bleeker discusses some market research numbers regarding Apple's (AAPL +0.37%) iPad market share in terms of its corporate and business consumers. He notes that while iOS device activation was up by several percentage points, Google's (GOOG 2.22%) Android platform was up as well, which has led some to suggest that Apple's market share is slipping in this market. Eric gives investors several things to consider regarding why that may not be the case and why Apple could have a lot of very positive catalysts ahead in this space.
