News: Tablet ownership doubled in US over the holidays, according to Pew

The predictions of tablets killing the notebooks might be seem far away but reports are truly in favour of tablets. According to a report by the Pew Research Center, sales of both tablets and e-readers exploded through the holidays. 10 percent of Americans owned each in December, but the number has almost doubled from December to 19 percent in January.

According to the report, there was apparently a lull in tablet sales over the latter half of 2011, which might have been the case of buyers waiting for the holidays season. Pew’s survey covered nearly 3,000 respondents and doesn’t completely reflect the population, but was conducted over the phone and wasn’t as skewed towards Internet-savvy users as web polls.

We might see this trend continue seeing the low-price range at which some really impressive tablets are being sold.
