It's pretty clear that the iPad has dominated the tablet market over the last year. But the tablet in second place in terms of units sold might come as a surprise to some.

Hewlett Packard, manufacturer of the TouchPad, managed to snag 17% of the non-iPad market according to NPD. That might come as even more of a shock when you consider that HP announced it would be discontinuing the TouchPad after less than two months on the market.

Then again, that could be precisely why it led to the TouchPad being the second best-selling tablet on the market this year. After its discontinuation was announced, retailers slashed the price of the tablet from $499 to only $99, putting it on par with many ebook readers and far below the asking price of other tablets, iPads and non-iPad units alike.
