Pour l'institut d'études NPD, il n'y pas photo. Les tablettes tactiles vont constituer le moteur principal de la croissance des appareils portables dans les prochaines années. Au point de dépasser en volume les ventes de laptops. Pour le moment, les PC portables sont encore loin devant avec 208 millions d'unités écoulées cette année contre 121 millions d'unités pour les tablettes.

Samsung, qui est un excellent manufacturier, mais qui n’est pas spécialement connu pour être une marque innovante (au sens où un Apple ou un Sony peuvent l’être par exemple) a surpris son monde lors du dernier salon IFA à Berlin en présentant sans prévenir le Samsung Galaxy Note , alors même que la marque était déjà engluée dans ses batailles juridiques en contrefaçon avec Apple. Le Galaxy Note fut donc l’une des sensations du salon et confirme l’intérêt et la curiosité suscitée chez les observateurs, et pas seulement chez les geeks.

On the same day that Amazon will be releasing its quarterly earnings, some research from comScore underscores just how far the company has come since launching its Kindle Fire tablet in November 2011. The researchers say that as of February 2012, Amazon’s Kindle Fire now accounts for 54.4 percent of all Android tablets in the U.S. Given how many different models of Android tablets there are out in the market at the moment, that gives it a strong lead over the rest of the field: the whole range of Samsung Galaxy Tab tablets, added together, only accounted for 15.4 percent of the market, with the Xoom following at seven percent, comScore said.

Une banque suisse s’interroge sur les tablettes tactiles ::Poste de travail
La consumérisation de l’IT – c’est à dire les employés utilisant leurs propres appareils, comme les téléphones portables et les tablettes, dans le cadre de leur travail quotidien, poussant le personnel informatique à en assurer le support – était déjà une préoccupation pour le personnel de sécurité informatique avant même la naissance des tablettes. Mais celles-ci ont considérablement compliqué la situation, introduisant non seulement une variété de systèmes d’exploitation, mais aussi la menace d’applications chargées de virus, téléchargées par les utilisateurs des tablettes et susceptibles de voler des informations et d’infecter les systèmes des entreprises. Pour Zdravko Ruzicic, responsable de l’ingénierie systèmes et réseau chez Frankfurter Bankgesellschaft, une banque privée disposant de bureaux à Zurich et à Francfort, prend toute la mesure de la demande des cadres supérieurs pour utiliser leurs propres tablettes.
One in Three Online Consumers to Use a Tablet by 2014
Tablet devices, in their current incarnation, have only been available for a couple years, but the iPad has propelled them to rapid increases in ownership and usage. eMarketer estimates that by the end of 2011, 33.7 million Americans will use a tablet device at least monthly—a rise of 158.6% over last year, the year the iPad was released. Growth will slow to double digits beginning in 2012, but the number of users will rise to nearly 90 million, or 35.6% of all internet users, by 2014. eMarketer’s previous tablet-related forecasts have focused on unit sales and the total installed base of devices. These current estimates deal instead with usage, and account for device sharing. eMarketer believes that as tablet adoption continues, less growth will come from sharing and more from replacing older devices with new ones. Eventually, tablets may become more like smartphones, which typically have a single user and less sharing.
Tablet Owners Spend More Time and Money Shopping Online [INFOGRAPHIC]
The increasing number of tablet owners in the U.S. is changing the way people shop from in-store to online — 20% of all mobile ecommerce sales now come from tablets and 60% of tablet owners have purchased goods using a tablet. Tablet users spend an average of one hour and 35 minutes on their devices and typically spend 10-20% more on purchases than shoppers without tablets. By 2016, mobile commerce is expected to increase to $31 billion in the U.S. - a tremendous jump from only $3 billion in 2010. Since tapping away on a tablet in the comfort of your home helps beat long lines and crowded department stores, it's no surprise that tablet owners are willing to spend more time and money shopping online .
