When we think of tablets the first thing that comes to mind is iPad. Apple has grabbed more than 80% of the market since they launched. However, not everyone else is throwing their towels just yet. The war of the tablets is an ongoing one and it will be quite interestinig to see how this pans out in a couple years. As of now, it’s safe to say that Apple will remain the undisputed king, atleast for a while.

It’s funny if you think about how many people carry a tablet with them these days. Try sitting at an airport waiting for your flight and you’ll see almost 50% of the people waiting with you are on their tablet. I used to be quite heavy on being a mobile guy with the use of my phone but the tablet has definitely replaced my phone. I can go without a phone but not a tablet, and yes I am the iPad guy. Can’t live without it anymore and my business definitely wouldn’t be running as mooth without it either. It has become a leisure and business tool.
