Analyst firm IDC released a report on the sales of tablet PCs in the fourth quarter of 2014. According to the information, all the major manufacturers there was a decline in sales. And indeed was a decrease in the market.

In particular, the share of Apple, which all these years has remained the market leader, declined to 28.1%, which is considerably lower compared with 33.1% in the fourth quarter of 2013. During the year the decline was an impressive 17.8%.

But not better things and such major manufacturers like Samsung, ASUS and Amazon. Positive dynamics is observed only in the Chinese company Lenovo, whose share increased by 9.1%. Not bad going sales and various small-scale producers, the total share of which increased by 36.2% and is now 46.2% of the market.

In general, the tablet market, “dipped” by 3.2%. As suggested by analysts from IDC on the example of the art Apple, this is due to the pressure of iPhone 6 Plus “from below” and miniature MacBook Air “from above.” That is, in its current form, the plates are fewer interested consumers who prefer to replace them with other devices.

But tablets too early to write off. After all, probably much anticipated iPad Air Plus (or iPad Pro) will offer consumers a really interesting opportunity. And if this is indeed the case, the tablet market is waiting for the next revival. IDC also believe that a role in the development of tablet market play and the Windows operating system 10, which should appear in the current year.

According to Ming Chi Kuo, the most “popular” analyst last few days, this year Apple iPad giant will not show . But this does not mean that she did not show at all. Probably, a device with a screen diagonal of 12 inches will be about a year later.

It seems designers and gives hope that show the world its concepts, their vision might look like this or that product. Ramotion company has not only created a hypothetical visualization, but described it in detail.

According to the creators of the concept, iPad Pro – is a cross between iPad and MacBook (also think the media and experts). The device will get a screen with a diagonal of 12.9 inches (4096h3072 pixels) and weighs about 600 grams. While inside the gadget room for two processors A7, 8-megapixel camera and three cameras FaceTime . The latter, aspirations designers should allow to do three-dimensional three-dimensional photos and shoot video rights.

Also fantasy authors of the project found its expression in the “rooms” speakers on the side edges of the tablet. This should make the sound more voluminous.

In addition, the concept shows and software that allow you to work with two applications simultaneously on the two sides of the screen – for what else to do it so big?

Divorced from reality even more, Ramotion offered and connector for a new form of gadget (this Apple just will not go so far – too recently its users are “displaced” by lightning) c battery level indicator.

Recall that the rumors about the appearance of giant-iPad appeared in the last year. Then the yield hinted several major publications. Since then, analysts and experts are periodically returned to the issue and remind us that once abandoned phrases can be true.

In the summer of The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times wrote that Apple is preparing iPad with 12.9-inch display. The company left unattended publication, but the designers did not pass: the network has a concept of large-sized gadget.

Device designed by enthusiasts of SET Solution, was called iPad Pro (it is possible that Apple, if you still release overgrown, Adam called it as well – iPad Air is already there).

In the video you can see an imaginary device endowed with 4K-display with a diagonal of about 13 inches, and thickness of the shell 7 mm. In addition, iPad Pro «received» fingerprint scanner TouchID, camera with flash True Tone and almost complete absence of edges on the sides of the screen.

Recall that, according to rumors, in Cupertino prepared product with 4K-display, but whether it will be increased in size or tablet 9.7-inch, is unclear.

Also recall that the closest competitor Apple, the company Samsung, already showed Galaxy NotePRO 12.2 and Galaxy TabPRO 12.2 during CES-2014 (it only shows that the market is interested in the emergence of large plates that could replace laptops, and so on to displace backyards, perhaps, Apple also finds release “giant” meaningful).
