Why Tablet Use Will Continue to Grow

The tablet computer is enjoying unprecedented popularity thanks to the iPad and its imitators, as well as a rich heritage of rugged tablets supplied to military, public safety, and commercial users for more than 20 years. The tablet form factor is expected to continue to show strong growth, not only in the consumer market, but also in mobile enterprises.
