DRAMeXchange predicts tablets will take over the sales spotlight this year, as more vendors push their tablet device launches.
It also expects most new tablets to be available after CES 2011.
Following the Taipei IT expo, the analyst concludes consumers are moving away from notebooks as the price difference between notebooks and tablets decreases.
It also expects OEMs to team up with telecomms to offer attractive subsidised prices and 3G internet packages.
DRAMeXchange predicts the tablet market to reach 15m units by 2010's end, while 2011 will grow dramatically-- reaching 52m units.
While the iPad is likely to dominate the tablet market (with over 95% 2010 market share), Google's Android will improve further and become more tablet-friendly.
The analysts conclude the iPad's 2011 market share should decline to 80-85% as non-iPad tablets gain more exposure.
