We’re barely into 2011, yet one thing is already clear: tablet computers are this year’s hottest mobile products and arguably the hottest technology products overall. When Apple released its now iconic iPad last April, skeptics wondered whether there was a market for a portable computer that lacked a physical keyboard, USB ports, the ability to run regular desktop applications, and a variety of other features that most notebook users take for granted. But when over three million iPads sold during the first 80 days of availability, the doubters quieted down and Apple’s competitors dug in their heels and began developing tablets of their own.
According to financial services firm Deloitte, businesses will buy more than 10 million tablets this year. It also predicts that a surge in business adoption will push overall tablet sales to more than 50 million worldwide, thereby challenging the perception that the devices are media-consumption toys unsuitable for legal professionals.
