Welcome to Tablet Revolutions II, the long-awaited sequel to MediaPost’s inaugural conference last year focusing on all things tablet. Leading things off, conference emcee Steve Smith
discusses how tablets have become a media “spigot” in their own right. To highlight the rapid emergence of tablets, he shows a Corning ad with futuristic uses of how a talbet can power
computer displays around the house.
The tablet becomes part of everyone’s everyday life. We’re not quite there, but the portability and versatile nature of tablets is making them
more ubiquitous both in homes and the workplace. Pew estimates that just over the holidays, tablet penetration doubled to about 20% of U.S. adults.
