Some analysts have recently predicted that sales of Apple's iPad and assorted other tablets -- such as the Amazon Kindle Fire, Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, and the Acer Iconia Tab -- will eventually outpace that of laptops. This has led some analysts to ponder whether the tablet form factor could, eventually, completely replace the laptop for work. However, a study from research firm ABI Research tells a much different story. Although iPads and other tablets remain very popular in today's mobile marketplace, they're not yet ready to assume the role of a laptop replacement. In fact, use of laptops around the world is on the rise, according to ABI. The report is the result of the company’s ongoing Technology Barometer surveys, which polls 8,000 consumers in seven countries every six months. Results of the most recent survey were released May 1, 2012.

Apple has reportedly used “sandboxing” and other security techniques to ensure that malicious hackers and cybercriminals don’t make their way into the operating system and steal sensitive information.

Microsoft, the software company that dominates the enterprise and once held equal sway in the consumer market, is losing some ground to Apple and Google, according to industry analysts. In the coming years, Microsoft’s place in the enterprise could continue to slip as CIOs decide to respond to the call from across the enterprise to allow employees to bring Macs, iPhones, iPads, and even Android-based devices to their offices. Despite the so-called trend known as “the consumerization of IT,” Microsoft remains a key software partner for the enterprise. Without the software giant’s solutions, you wouldn’t be able to do half the things you currently do in the office.
