As if tablets weren't already popular enough, ABI Research expects them to sell better and better, so much better than the revenues brought in will total a sum 28% above that of last year.

"The convenience and mobility benefits afforded by tablet computers are showing no signs of slowing interest after record unit shipments and revenues were reported by device vendors in 2012," ABI Research wrote.

Long story short, sales will reach somewhere around 64 million dollars, which corresponds to 49 million Euro according to exchange rates, give or take.

Shipments are expected to rise by 38%, but the lowering prices will not allow the money produced by the sales to attain the same level. Which, of course, is a good thing for consumers, even though IT companies might frown at the thought.
