By 2016, 60% of the tablet will be cheaper than $ 400

The company introduced a new ABI Research study, which states that by 2016 60% of the tablet market will belong to low-cost models. More specifically, we are talking about devices that are less than $ 400 - like the Amazon Kindle Fire or Google Nexus Tab. The latter, so far known only by hearsay, but it is expected that it will be inexpensive.

At the moment, the market leader in tablets is Apple iPad, but its cost can not call. However, over the next few years the situation will change, according to ABI Research, and affordable model will take a firmer stance. The important factor here is to increase the number of tablets - it cost - in developing countries such as India and China, experts say. Also, ABI Research notes that the continuing and growing market of electronic books in the last year it was 33%, and this is expected to more than 20%.
