The convenience and mobility benefits
afforded by tablet computers are showing no signs of slowing interest after
record unit shipments and revenues were reported by device vendors in 2012. In
2013, approximately 150 million tablets (up 38% year-over-year) are forecasted
to ship globally worth an estimated $64 billion (up 28% from 2012) in potential
end-user revenues, according to market intelligence firm ABI Research.
