On basis of a growing number of analysts and veteran technology industry executives, who analyzed that the torrid growth rates of the iPad, combined with tablet competition from the likes of Amazon.com and Microsoft, make a changing of the guard a question of when, not if.
Recently Microsoft launched a variety of hardware manufacturers based on a new, touchscreen-friendly operating system called Windows 8 that contained in tablets.
Brad Silverberg, a venture capitalist in Seattle at Ignition Partners and a former Microsoft executive said, “Tablets are on fire, there’s no question about that.”

Selling 15 million iPads in a year earlier, Apple is banking on the tablet market. Its iPad brought in nearly 40 percent more revenue during the holidays than Apple’s own computer business, the Macintosh, did. The iPad has become a franchise for the company, accounting for $9.15 billion in revenue in the holiday quarter, or about 20 percent of Apple’s total revenue.
“From the first day it shipped, we thought – not just me, many of us thought at Apple – that the tablet market would become larger than the PC market, and it was just a matter of the time that it took for that to occur,” Cook of Apple quotes by saying.
Tablet sales will “absolutely” pass those of PCs, a trend will become even more pronounced as a younger, tablet-savvy generation ages.
