Tablets, Tablets - everywhere!!!

The article states:

By now, it's a fait accompli that tablet sales will surpass those of the PC. The only question that remains is: When?

That day is not too far away, if a head analyst at technology incubator BitChemy Ventures is to be believed. According to Singh's projections, global tablet shipments will increase to nearly 80 million in the fourth quarter, while PC shipments will slide to around 70 million to 75 million.

 The article discusses that Google based tablets are expected to take a larger market share - and Apple's market share is going to decline.  But, the author also suggests that while Apple is pushing cheaper and smaller versions, in the long run, the tablet market is controlled by Apple.

As I reflect on Apple - others made MP3 players, but the iPod is the champion; others make phones, but the iPhone is still a popular item (maybe not quite the champion worldwide); and in tablets, the iPad is still the unit to beat!!!
