More signs of the evolving technology advances that should influence our lives.
From the Economist,
APPLE is due to launch a new version of its popular iPad on March 2nd. The company sold some 15m iPads in 2010, the year in which the device was launched, and according to one forecast it could sell more than 40m of them in 2011. But other tablet computers, in particular those based on Google's Android operating system, are expected to erode its share of a fast-growing market. In 2010 iPads accounted for about 80% of total tablet sales; by 2015 Apple's market share could fall below 40%.
Outside the context of the providers and their market shares, if you look at the forecasts, in 4 years tablet shipments are about to explode by nearly 5 times with the gist of the growth coming from tablets based on mobile technology (as we dealt with here)
The internet based “third wave” knowledge revolution is indeed accelerating.
