This is like saying the iPad was the best thing that could happen to X Company’s tablet (I can’t even think of another one).

iPads have continued to advance and take market share while other options seem to die off due to lack of public interest.

You might be living in a bubble :)

ipad market share is around 30%, and that with Google and Samsung doing their best to ignore this market:

(Funny thing, "iPad" is autocorrected to "I pad" on my tablet, I think Samsung is playing dirty tricks)

Why conflicting?

These two reports measure different things (I assume it's something like actual sales vs web traffic) but they are not that far apart: 31.6% vs 36.5% market share for ipad.
