Tablet Wars Heating Up, Sales May Jump to 215m in 2015
~ May 31, 2011
Bloomberg recently quoted an analyst from Sanford Bernstein who expects tablet sales to jump from 17m in 2010, to 215m in 2015. That would be a 1,370% increase.
Apple's in the lead. Google's coming up in second, and is about to unveil an army of tablets from manufacturers such as Samsung, Motorola, and HTC. Microsoft is about to limp into the race with its new Windows tablet OS.
Competition from new entrants will cut Apple’s share of the tablet market to 50 percent next year, iSuppli Corp. said on April 21, from almost 100 percent when the Cupertino, California-based company began selling the iPad in June.

Sharp Growth in Ereader Penetration
~ May 25, 2011
eMarketer estimates more than 20 million ereaders will be in consumer hands by the end of this year, reaching 8.7% of the US adult population. By 2012, 12% of adults will have a Kindle, Sony Reader, NOOK or similar device.
Amazon’s announcement that its ad-supported, lowest-priced Kindle is now its best-seller supports the view that people are eager for affordable, no-frills devices. At the same time, Liberty Media’s $1 billion offer for Barnes & Noble was predicated largely on the retailer’s success with the NOOK Color, whose list price is nearly double that of the ad-supported Kindle. Healthy sales at both ends of the ereader price spectrum bode well for continued adoption of this device category.
Nielsen reported last year that about a third of ereader owners share their device with at least one other person, meaning the ereaders reached potentially millions more people than the 12.7-million-unit installed base.
the spring 2011 introduction of the Kindle with Special Offers brought the first ad-supported ereader to market.
