Tablet revenues to soar past $3.4 billion by 2014 – Analyst

Posted By | On 20th, Mar. 2012

Juniper Research, which is a research firm has mentioned that tablet revenues will soar past $3.4 billion by 2014. Currently, they have estimated the revenues to be $491 million. The report says that tablet owners have a higher disposable income than smartphone users, and this is one of the reason why the revenues have been optimistically projected.

“The tablet is the perfect device for playing mobile games… Higher user satisfaction with games and a bigger wallet mean that tablet games look to be highly lucrative.” wrote Charlotte Miller, who created the report.

The report mentions screen size and graphical capabilities as one of the reasons why gaming will be more successful on the tablets in the future. The iPad 3 features a quad core GPU and a dual core CPU, and is one of the most powerful mobile devices – just like the Vita.

Apple has sold 3 million new iPad’s after its launch on 18th March. Tell us what you think in the comments section below.
