With tablets widely predicted to overtake shipments of desktop PCs and laptops later this year, it remains likely that tablets will continue to enjoy strong growth in the years ahead.
The mobile devices market is gaining strength, with tablets and smartphones gaining on the PC market and continuing to do so.
Hybrid phone-tablet devices may eventually merit recognition as a separate category in their own right and it is widely believed that smartphones will represent the vast majority of connected device shipments.
It will be interesting to see how technological developments proceed in years to come. One possibility is that a convertible device – capable of running both Android and Windows – will emerge as a stand-alone tablet.
With the advance of mobile technology, the question of how your business chooses to respond and adapt to meet customer demand becomes increasingly important.
