Some global sales figures from Gartner:
Worldwide tablet sales :
■ 2010: 17.6 million
■ 2011: 59.8 million
■ 2012: 124.8 million
■ 2013: 216.3 million
■ 2014: 216.1 million
■ 2015: 233.4 million (forecast)
■ 2016: 259.0 million (forecast)
There is talk of tablet sales fading and PCs having a revival but so far little evidence.
