Like many people, when someone says “mobile device” you probably think of smart phones. Yet, “tablets and e-readers have increasingly become part of the equation, with millions of people now owning devices that many had never heard of a couple of years ago.” For instance, “on the tablet front, Apple’s iPad has ruled the market with an iron fist. Since its rollout in early 2010, competitors from HP to Dell to BlackBerry-maker RIM have tried, and failed, to match the device feature for feature.”
