IDC调高2012年及未来平板电脑销售预测 科技博客TECHCRUNCH

    IDC预测，平板电脑销量今年年底将达到1.223亿台，2013年为1.724亿台；安卓份额将增长，电子书阅读器日渐式微。IDC之所以提高平板电脑销售预测的另一个原因是，电子书阅读器将节节败退。IDC称，亚马逊公司（Amazon）和巴诺书店（B&N）出品的前光（front-lit）电子书阅读器获得了“一小部分对电子书阅读器情有独钟的用户”的青睐。但分析人士相信，绝大多数用户会选择多功能的平板电脑。IDC已将2012年电子书阅读器的销售预测调低至1,990万台，这个数字要比2011年2,770万台的出货量低了不少。

IDC raises tablet forecast for 2012 and onward [TECHCRUNCH]

    The forecast: 122.3 million by year-end, 172.4 million by 2013; Android gains, eReaders lose Another reason for IDC's raised tablet forecast comes at eReaders' expense. Front-lit eReaders from Amazon and B&N have captured the interest of "a subset of consumers who prefer an eReader," says IDC, but the analysts believe that the majority of buyers will go for multi-use tablets instead. IDC has dropped its eReader forecast down to 19.9 million units for 2012, which is lower than the 27.7 million units shipped in 2011.
