it does raise the question what the internet of things will run on. real time os like qnx seem too limited to be of much value. so perhaps android?
The deeper issue, though, is that estimating tablet sales in this way is a little like trying to estimate global car sales by working out how many internal combustion engines are being made, and how many tires, but not adjusting for motorbikes, cranes, outdoor generators or 18 wheelers. Lots of ‘tablet’ chips and ‘tablet’ screens do not actually end up in tablets.
