Apple hasn't launched a new tablet since November last year and it looks like age might finally be catching up to the iPad line. According to data released on Thursday by market research firm TrendForce, the iPad's share of the global tablet market fell to its lowest point in history during the second quarter this year. Alongside its June-quarter earnings report on Tuesday, Apple revealed that iPad shipments fell dramatically to 14.6 million units, down from 17 million units in the same quarter last year. The disparity is clearly a result of the shift in Apple's iPad launch schedule, but that doesn't change the fact that Apple is losing ground as rivals pick up the pace.
