Tablet PCs Finding a Niche Market

LPH · #1 (**permalink**) 04-21-2004, 08:10 PM

Tablet PCs are being adopted by an increasing number of business professionals for specific mobile uses.

According to Theron Uys, Acer product manager at independent IT solutions company First Technology, almost ten percent of notebooks sold by Acer in South Africa today are Tablet PCs.

"Despite the novelty of the product, business projections estimate more than 35% of all notebooks sold worldwide will come equipped with some form of pen digitizer by 2007," he says.

"The Tablet PC was initially launched with much hype and the active backing of Microsoft. Initially, sales of Tablet PCs remained constant but are now on a steady increase as they grow in popularity. In addition, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and major international IT companies continue to show faith in the Tablet PC as the future replacement for the notebook PC," he adds.

Congratulations!
