Tablets - The hottest IT device for years. Adobe's Digital Publishing Suite (DPS) is the best solution available to take advantage of publishing to the tablet market, providing a direct link to iPads, iPhones, iPod Touches, Android tablets and Kindle Fire tablets.
If you are unsure about the size of the tablet market, consider these facts about the iPad:
- More than half of tablet adopters are reading books and other content on their tablet screens instead of relying on paper, a survey finding that should serve as a warning to publishers to adapt quickly to electronic media. Source
- In 2 years, Apple sold 67 million iPads. It took the company 24 years to sell that many Macs, 5 years for that many iPods, and over 3 years for that many iPhones. Source
- Sales of Apple's iPad pulled in 30% more than all of Dell’s consumer PC business in just the first half of 2011. Source
- A little over a year after the iPad launched, it passed Apple’s 27-year-old Mac business in revenue. Source
