Some remarkable statistics for the online publishing world’s game-changer
After seeing data on 2010’s tablet market, it’s hard not to agree that Apple’s iPad has been a game-changer.
During the 4th quarter of 2010, the iPad drive tablet sales up 45%, and in the process, took 90% of the market.
From Q3 to Q4, the tablet market grew from 3.3 million tablets sold to 4.8 million.
