In 2015, 57 million tablet computers were sold

According to research firm ABI Research, Apple's iPad tablet computer marks the beginning of a mass production phase of this product line and is estimated that by 2015 there will be 57 million products sold each year. .

According to analyst Jeff Orr, about 4 million products will be exported to the market this year. Apple's iPad is not the first tablet (tablet), but it helps define a new type of device. The main focus of the tablet computer line is for entertainment. The tablet will not replace laptops, netbooks or mobile phones but will be an expensive product line for the wealthy industrial market for at least many years.

By definition of ABI Research , Multimedia Tablet requires a 5-11-inch touch screen interface, Wi-Fi internet connection and the ability to watch videos and play games. In addition, other features are added to a number of different multimedia tablets.

At the CES 2010 Consumer Electronics Show, which took place in Las Vegas in January, a large number of other tablets were also announced. Major technology companies enter this new field such as traditional computer manufacturers Lenovo, HP and Asus and a number of smaller firms such as ICD and Notion Ink.

However, technology companies in this new field are often quite small and less known but they see the benefits from this new segment. Apple is an exception, a technology firm known for products that have gone down in history like the iPhone. Therefore, Apple will probably gain more advantages in this segment.

As a new product, challenges are inevitable. According to analysts, the biggest challenge that multimedia tablets face today is how they approach the market and the perception of potential buyers on this product line.

Therefore, new companies entering this market will face many disadvantages due to the lack of relationships with retailers and agreements with telecom firms.
