Tablet Market to Blow Up With 50 New Devices

Well, we knew tablets were going to be a pillar of the modern electronics architecture, but we never really thought about exactly how many tablets that we’re likely to see over time. An executive with chipmaker ARM has put a number to the tablet explosion, predicting we’ll see no less than 50 tablets launched around the world. That’s a lot of options for the burgeoning market. ARM’s worldwide mobile computing ODM manager Roy Chen expects that the third quarter of this year will see a large number of launches.

While the iPad will be one of the first notable tablets on market when it drops next month, it may pay to hold off a little longer and see what the competition offers. All that competition is sure to be good for technology and pricing. [via Computerworld via Pocket-lint]
