iPad could make all tablets more popular. All the fuss over Apple's iPad is generating interest in tablets of all kinds and is impacting the industry.
According to market researcher Gartner, in addition to the iPad, new tablets from Hewlett-Packard and Lenovo are expected to increase tablet PC sales to 10.5 million units in 2010 up from 1.06 million last year.
Another researcher quoted in USA Today, iSuppli, predicts worldwide iPad sales of 7.1 million units in 2010, 14.4 million in 2011 and 20.1 million in 2012.
The iPad will be a huge driver in the market, according to Gartner analysts. The Apple mystique revolutionized the MP3 and smartphone markets, and some say, it will do the same with tablets.
