Media Tablet Market Shows Immense Growth: Report

Orr added that the interest around tablets has implications for other parts of the consumer electronics market also. The surge in interest in media tablets is impacting the MID or Mobile Internet Device category, he noted.

“Most of the volume that we’ve projected for the MID category since 2007 is now being taken over by other device form factors like media tablets. Also smartphones, are assuming more and more of the functionality that was envisioned for these ‘non-voice handsets’,” Orr emphasized.
