The fastest-growing tablet vendors in the third quarter were makers of low-cost Google (GOOGL) Android-based slates, most notably the RCA brand. RCA tablet shipments rose a blistering 194% year over year in Q3, research firm IDC reported Thursday. The storied brand shipped 2.6 million tablets in the quarter, giving it a market share of 4.9%, up from 1.8% in Q3 2013. RCA ranked No. 5 among tablet makers as it entered the top-five vendor ranking for the first time. RCA was a “surprise entry” in the top five thanks to its distribution deals with Wal-Mart Stores (WMT) and other big retailers, IDC said. Scalper1 News
