Peak Tablet



From Deloitte CIO Journal

Have we reached peak tablet? In 2017, Deloitte predict that sales of tablets will be fewer than 160 million units, suggesting that we have passed the peak demand for these devices. Tellingly, there is no dominant compelling use case for these devices. Across a range of online activities, tablets have their fans, but there is no single activity where tablets are the preferred device.

Prevent BYOD from becoming Bring Your Own Disease

From Tech Republic

“With BYOD initiatives seeing exponential growth, security has become an utmost concern for network managers dealing with mobile users.

Everybody likes "free." But that likeability takes a hard hit when "free" is combined with "network security", particularly when BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) issues are involved.

In the past, network managers had the luxury of dictating what security software was used across the enterprise, with expansive management suites enforcing the use of anti-malware technologies across both servers and workstations. Fast forward to the present day and network administrators have usurped most of their control over endpoints, simply because enterprises own fewer endpoints and are embracing BYOD ideologies to lower costs.”

Phablets are not a phad

From Deloitte CIO Journal

Two thirds of phablets in 2014 will be less than 5.1 inches, only just meeting the definition, and less than 10 percent are likely to be 6 inches or larger. About 25 percent of 2013 phablet sales were new versions of existing devices that enlarged the screen and shrank the bezel, rather than actually making the phone larger. Phablets tend to be more popular in Asia than in North America and EMEA -- perhaps due to languages based on complex symbols that benefit from larger screens, or due to greater interest in phones that are good for gaming or can replace multiple devices such as PCs and tablets.

The tablet market stratifies

From Deloitte CIO Journal

In the first quarter of 2014, the installed base of compact tablets (with screens smaller than 9 inches) will likely surpass the base of classic tablets (9 inches and larger). Smaller devices are more likely to be carried around; the classic tablet, while perfectly portable within homes, is taken outdoors less frequently. Also, smaller tablets might be better for games that use motion sensors, as well as for e-mail (adding less weight to an already congested briefcase).

The PC Is Not Dead

From Deloitte CIO Journal

Deloitte predicts that in 2013, more than 80 percent of Internet traffic measured in bits will continue to come from traditional desktop and laptop personal computers. In addition, more than 70 percent of the hours we spend on computing devices (PCs, smartphones and tablets) will be on a PC.

Forget Standardization - Embrace BYOD

From Dark Reading

"The platform standardization ship has sailed, but mobile device management is your ticket to securing all of those handhelds

Despite its rocky start, Windows 8 has IT departments salivating over the idea of standardizing on a single platform. It's a compelling vision: phones, tablets, and workstations all running a single OS and managed through a shared set of native Microsoft tools. Compelling, perhaps, but for most organizations, it ain't gonna happen."
