This year it’s anticipated that someone will purchase the 1 millionth Tablet PC. Yep. Imagine that, one million Tablet PCs!
Here are some recent IDC numbers quoted from this BizJournals article about Motion:
“According to IDC, 420,000 tablet PCs were sold last year around the world. That figure is projected to surpass 1 million in 2004 and reach 2.9 million in 2005.”
I know I’m jumping the gun a bit, but recently I’ve been using the projected 1 million Tablet PCs number when describing the market to people. People get it when they hear that Tablets are on track to reach the one million mark this year.
Yeah, this is still a small percentage of the overall computer market, but there’s something pyschologically compelling about one million. People understand that for a one+ year old product that there’s something here to take note of.
