1. Tablet PC penetration has increased significantly in the consumer sector, with people using them for games, email, and video. 2. The business sector represents a major growth opportunity for tablets as companies like Apple are seeing increased adoption by Fortune 500 businesses for mobile applications. 3. New technologies and larger enterprise accounts will drive further growth in the business tablet market.

1. It seems there has been a surge in interest for tablet PC’s and most of the surge has come from the consumer sector
I believe. If you take a look around it seems people use them to play games, check email, and watch video. These
individuals are buying them in droves.
As the market booms and more people buy mobile devices, it seems consumers can own this market forever. Like all
technology, other fields will drive innovation and potential increased sales. The business sector in my eyes is where
the biggest opportunity for growth exists.
New technology, bigger accounts are all huge in this sector and so I am very positive we will see an increase in the
number of people that move their devices into enterprise.

2. Apple claims 80% of the Fortune 500 companies are giving
tablet PC’s a shot for their business.

3. How mobile
devices have impacted Web Design?
It appears everyone uses a PC differently in many aspects. If you think about they are computers that are designed to be used
by the masses - in almost an unthinkable way we as the end user can perform many types of applications. What I find is most
people really don’t care what a table does they are more inclined to purchase based on the stylish sleek look not on usability.
For a business to take notice I believe they must have very specific applications. In terms of how mobile devices has
impacted web design it has made it easier for customers. Mobile devices have made it easier for customers to scan and do
comparison shopping, on the spot, in your retail store. I believe it may harder for some web developers to keep up with
forever changing process but, good for others.

a bad combination for a mobile

real mobile and tablet device
killer.

7. What can my business do to make sure my website can
accessed and used on a mobile or tablet device?

suffer from truly being 100% mobile.

10. WHERE IS THE FUTURE OF THE TABLET GOING TO TAKE YOUR BUSINESS?
• The table market is definitely on
to something. What I see is many
companies duplicating what
Apple has done with the iPad
however, I believe design, and
features/Entertainment and what
the consumer will come first.
• Tablet technology will expand to
the point that it can be used
specifically for tasks in
specialized industries i.e.
education, and of course
enterprise.
