We had expected a flurry of tablet PCs since the announcement of iPad but this is a huge figure. An ARM executive recently said that there could be more than 50 iPad-like products worldwide. ARM who makes chips for these devices also confirmed that consumers will see a few tablets from mobile carriers in Q2 but there will be much more in the following quarter.
The executive also said that there will be number of tablet options for Chinese consumers but big companies as well as top 10 cellular operators will also look out to tap other markets as well.
The biggest upcoming trade show related to tech is Computex and it’s the place where we’ll see most companies’ tablet creations. ARM even rented additional booth space to show products powered by their chips.
