Tablets to Pass PC Sales for the First Time Ever

This is something to site whenever someone talks about how fast tech moves.

The ascent of the tablet only continues. According to research firm IDC, Q4 of this year will mark the first time tablets outsell PCs. For the whole year, PCs will still rule, according to IDC, but by 2015 tablets will begin outselling PCs, and that's not likely to change in 2016 and beyond. Assuming the tablet trend pans out as IDC believes it will, there are two questions device manufacturers need to answer: How are tablet and smartphone owners using all those mobile devices, and do they have a product that fits their needs?

It seems the home computer has been replaced with a tablet for everyone. The study says that almost all of the tablet time is devoted to watching TV, playing games, reading books and other types of entertainment.
