The Yankee Group today released a new , "2012 US Tablet Landscape: An All-Too-Familiar Story," that examines the current state of the U.S. market for tablet devices. As the title suggests, the report's findings aren't too surprising, specifically the fact that Apple's iPad continues to dominate the tablet market with 51 percent of all tablets owned in the U.S.

But the report's findings on the Kindle Fire should give Amazon pause. The online retailer's 7-inch color slate, a holiday hit when it debuted last fall, has "cooled with consumers," the Yankee Group says.

Consumers who wanted a Kindle Fire now have one, but demand has dropped precipitously. In fact, just 6 percent of people surveyed intend to buy a Fire, down from 11 percent in 2011.

The Yankee Group's findings mirror recent reports that suggest the Kindle Fire isn't the stunning success it first appeared to be.

A recent of 2,900 U.S. consumers found that 41 percent of Kindle Fire users said they were "very satisfied" with the tablet--a 15-percent decline since ChangeWave's February 2012 survey.
