Huge Growth Projected for Tablet PCs [REPORT] The iPad craze will last long past this Christmas season, according to a new survey, which predicts that about 20% of Americans plan to own or purchase a tablet PC by 2014. The online survey — by Harris Interactive on behalf of Fuze Box, based on the responses of 2,288 adults in November — reports that 9 million people, or roughly 3% of the population, currently own tablet devices.
The report doesn't break down the type of tablets, but Apple has reported sales of at least 8 million iPads through October. This month, eMarketer estimated that iPads make up 85% of the tablet market. The researcher projects that tablet sales will grow more than 400% by 2012, to 81.3 million units. In the Harris survey, of those who reported they owned some type of tablet PC, 78% use their tablets for browsing the Internet and 75% read their e-mail on them.

Advertisement A certain category of design gaffes can be boiled down to violations of audience expectations. Websites that don’t work in Internet Explorer are a heck of a nasty surprise for users who, bless their souls, want the same Internet experience as everyone else. Websites that prevent copying, whether through careless text-as-image conversions or those wretched copyright pop-ups from the turn of the century, cripple a feature that works nearly everywhere else on the Internet.
Avoiding this category of blunders is crucial to good design, which is why I am upset that one particular pitfall has been overlooked with extreme frequency. According to statlit.org1, statistical literacy is the ability to read and interpret summary statistics in the everyday media: in graphs, tables, statements, surveys and studies.
