Redefine what is computing
“We are in the midst of a dramatic recasting of the entire market for devices,”
said Bill O’Donnell - Founder and Chief Analyst of TECHnalysis Research.
“...it’s leading to a complete redefinition of what computing is, what computing means and
where computing happens.
It’s safe to say that the world of computing and intelligent devices will look very
different in 5 years compared to what it is today.”

Tablet Impact
● Consumers are keeping their tablets, especially higher-cost
models from major vendors, far longer than originally
anticipated.
● Passing their existing tablet off to another member of the family.
● The rise of phablets are causing many people to second-guess
tablet purchases as the larger screens on these phones are often
adequate for tasks once reserved for tablets."

Phablet Shipments Double
In the past year alone, the phablet share of smartphone shipments
has more than doubled, from 4.3% in the first quarter of 2013 to
10.5% in the first quarter of this year, representing 30.1 million units
shipped.Expectations:● market to rebound by shifting its focus back toward larger-screened devices.
● Products with larger screens--like Microsoft's new 2-in-1, the 12-inch Surface Pro
3— are expected to play a greater role in the market going forward."

Larger Screens
"The shift back toward larger screens will mark a welcome sea
change for most vendors as the average selling price for these
devices will remain roughly 50 percent higher than the average sub-
8-inch device," said Jitesh Ubrani, Research Analyst, Worldwide
Quarterly Tablet Tracker. "Microsoft is also expected to benefit from
this shift as the share for Windows-based devices is expected to
double between now and 2018."

Phablet share will double by 2018
This year, phablets are forecast to represent just 14 percent of the
smartphone market, but their share will be more than double in
2018, when it will reach 32.2 percent.
Of course, with Apple getting in the game, phablet shipments
could accelerate even faster.

“...consumers are still trying to figure out what mix of devices and
screen sizes will suit them best", according to IDC program vice

phones gain larger screens, tablets become more powerful
replacements for PCs, and even smart watch screens join the
fray".
