Market research and data services provider Research and Markets, Ireland, has announced the addition of the 'Media Tablets: 2010 to 2014' report to their offering.
The 265-page report contains a detailed analysis of the Media Tablets market. It analyses and quantifies this new market in eight fact-filled sections. This includes Report Highlights; Executive Summary; Market Overview; Media Tablets; Vendor Landscape; Media Tablet Platforms: Profiles and Analysis; Market Analysis; and Market Data and Forecasts
According to the report, Media Tablets will radically change the structure and competitive dynamics of the portable computing industry. Products like Apple's iPad, Samsung's Galaxy Tab and Research In Motion's PlayBook are the first examples of a new class portable computer: the Media Tablet, the report noted.
While PCs will remain the best choice for serious content creators' and those who require the ultimate in graphics performance, consumers are falling over themselves to buy their first Media Tablet, says the report. It is estimated that over 117 million Media Tablets will be sold in 2014, compared with 48 million Netbooks, 258 million Notebook PCs, 139 million Desktop PCs, 6.8 million Dedicated e-Readers and 385 million Smartphones.
The arrival of Media Tablets means that portable computing vendors, who until now have been exclusively focused on improving the specifications of their hardware products, will need to compete in the Media Tablet market by offering a total solution that, as a minimum, includes an application strategy and, for the market leaders, also offers a range of bundled content and services that can be enjoyed using a Media Tablet and a companion Smartphone.
