Tablet PCs accounted for just 1.5% of notebook PCs sold worldwide last year, IDC now says, and makers shipped nearly 1 million tablet PC units in 2005 and are forecast to hit 1.9 million units this year.
According to a latest study carried out by Canalys across Europe, Fujitsu has a 50% share in the EMEA territories. In earlier figures released by IDC, Toshiba was found to be a head of the pack of vendors selling tablet PCs in the US with around a 34% share, and some ten percentage points ahead of Hewlett-Packard.
To date, the devices have found market appeal among healthcare, education and the insurance sectors. Tablet PC vendors are proposing to broaden the appeal of the form factor with ultramobile alternatives that are larger than a PDA but smaller and lighter than current generation tablets.
