Demand for Tablet PCs to Soar in 2010: Deloitte
Tablet PCs will be highly popular with consumers this year with ten of millions of people lapping them up, say technology analysts at Deloitte.
These ultra-mobile tablet PCs have no keyboard or mouse and are equipped with a touch screen. They hold a middle segment between smartphones and netbooks, since they are usually larger in size than the former with higher processing power and smaller than even the smallest netbook computers. These advantages make the tablet PC an ultimate gadget for those wanting to use technology while on the move.
Deloitte’s report, which predicts consumer device trends for 2010, labels tablet PCs as ‘the Goldilocks of devices’ - neither too big nor too small. According to the forecast these gadgets will sell like hot cakes this year even though they have been around for quite some time.
It was in 2001 that Microsoft launched a tablet PC in the market, but as Deloitte says, the gadget was not so advanced and had less impressive graphics and software than the current tablets available in the market. Microsoft’s product also had no connectivity, a must have for any such devise. However, in the current age of mobile computing for fun and business the demand for tablet PCs is expected to soar.
And those who are not convinced with industry reports can have a look at excitement that surrounds the release of Apple’s iSlate tablet PC, which is expected to be unveiled at the end of this January. The iSlate has generated a massive interest among both the buyers as well as the industry. Speculation suggests that Apple hopes to sell nearly ten million units of the iSlate annually.
