In 2010, no other consumer electronics device captivated the collective gadget psyche like tablet computers. Less than a year at retail, consumers, manufacturers, and content developers are still determining where tablets fit into the computing mix-- an acknowledgment of their versatility. With this wave of popularity, how will the tablet figure into the home computing ecosystem? Will these devices be additive to the experience, working in tandem with other devices, or will tablets take the place of other computing options? CEA’s Eye on Emerging Technology: Tablet Computers will assess the current ownership profile of tablets in the U.S. and answer the following questions:
  • When do consumers expect to purchase a tablet?
  • How much are expectant buyers willing to pay?
  • How many tablets do manufacturers expect to ship?
