More Than a Tablet: How One Mobile Device Is Affecting So Many Industries

Once out, there’s no putting a genie back in the bottle. And judging by the enthusiasm, interest and growing adoption around tablets, it’s safe to say that they’re here to stay.

The original iPad got the tablet party started two years ago, in 2010, but since then the market for tablets has ballooned considerably. And they’re not just being used as a consumer device, either.

According to data from analysts and experts, 90 percent of the Fortune 500 companies are testing or deploying tablets. That amounts to an estimated $10 billion in corporate spending on tablets this year alone.
