Tablets Becoming a User's Second PC
Tablets will be used as a second computer, primarily for media consumption, with a laptop becoming their principal computing device, Forrester Research analyst Sarah Epps says.
Tablet computers like Apple's iPad will outsell netbooks by 2012 and surpass desktops by 2015, growing at a 42 percent compound annual growth rate between now and 2015. She estimates there will be about 3.5 million tablets sold in 2010.
By 2015, only laptops will have a greater share of the market, with 42 percent, versus a projected 23 percent market share for tablets.

General-purpose technologies do not come along very often, but when they do, they change life, economies and industries.
