Market research and data services provider Research and Markets, Ireland, has announced the addition of Frost & Sullivan's new report 'World Next Generation Tablets Market' to their offering.
This research covers the 2011 world next generation tablet market. Analysis is provided for consumer tablets, professional tablets, E-Readers, features and specifications, future screen technologies, and the competitive ecosystem. Market share analysis will also be provided for the consumer tablet market, E-Reader market, and the netbook market. Forecasts in this research will span from 2010 until 2016 (with 2010 serving as the base year). Additionally, features, specifications, and file format compatibility adoption rates will be included for the base year, 2010
The pure play E-Readers market includes all devices equipped with an e-Ink screen or comparable technology, which simulates actual paper. These devices are also limited in terms of functionality when compared to tablets and netbooks, making them the most focused devices represented in this research. Also, devices with more than one screen technology will fall under the category which most closely relates to their core purpose and functionality.
Consumer tablet devices are a new category which has become popular due to the 2010 success of the Apple iPad. These devices do not come with keyboards, and are generally equipped with advanced mobile SOCs (system on a chip) or Intel Atom processors. Additionally, these devices typically do not come with full-featured desktop operating systems, and thus are limited in terms of loadable software and functionality.
The professional tablet market precedes all other markets covered in this research, and generally consists of ruggedized or special purpose tablets for the medical market, the government, the military, and other markets with employees that are in the field. These devices are typically equipped with ultra low voltage laptop hardware, include no keyboard, and are capable of handling full-featured desktop operating systems.
Netbook computers include low cost laptop-like devices which are a small form factor, and come equipped with an Intel Atom (or comparable CPU). These devices may be equipped with full-featured desktop operating systems, although they usually run on a minimalist distribution of Linux.
