The iPad is King as Tablets Crush PCs

With Apple’s ( NASDAQ:AAPL) iPad leading the way, shipments of tablets are set to outpace global
notebook sales this year, according to latest data from NPD DisplaySearch. The firm projects tablets
to reach shipments of 240 million units this year, while only about 207 million notebooks will get shipped.

The tablet market has for years been “dominated by one major player, Apple,” especially with its older,

full-sized iPad, but several new rivals are making their mark in a big way in the smaller-screen segment,
the research firm said. Google ( NASDAQ:GOOG) released its seven-inch Nexus 7 last year, while Apple
also entered the small-screen market with its iPad mini. Amazon.com ( NASDAQ:AMZN) offers a
seven-inch Kindle Fire HD, while Samsung (SSNLF.PK) sells a smaller Galaxy Tab.
