Chitika Research today published the results of its third quarter 2013 tablet usage study, finding that iPads still rule the roost in terms of usage. The company looks at the Web traffic generated by each tablet platform, and found that iPad users (the big blue bar in the chart above) were responsible for 81 percent of all North American tablet Web traffic.
That number was 3 percent from the results published back at the end of the second quarter, with Amazon's Kindle Fire tablets gaining the most share -- a solid 1 percent gain -- and Samsung coming in with 0.9 percent more traffic. Google's Nexus tablets grabbed 0.4 percent additional traffic during the quarter, and Microsoft's Surface tablets surprisingly showed a jump of 0.
