After its September launch, Sony is reporting that the more traditional of their two Android tablet offerings held a 26 percent share of the Android tablet market in October, enough to be considered the top-selling slate running href=”http://google.com/” rel=”homepage” target=”_blank” title=”Google”>Google’s OS for the month.

Sony has to be more than pleased with the results and will surely look to strengthen their tablet lineup in the new year.
