Large-Sized Phones Creating A Dent In The Small Tablet Market?

IDC reports how handsets over 5" screens will take over the 7" calling tablets space over the next one year.

 

As large-screen smartphones or phablets, bloat in screen sizes; an IDC report, as mentioned on the Times Of India suggests will eat into the tablets arena. The next year and a half is likely to see 5-8 inchers with voice calling facility rein over the 7-8 inch slates.

The report says: "A new round of device cannibalisation is also expected to kick in, but this time with large-screen (5-plus inch) smartphones beginning to impact the smaller (7-8 inch) tablet market. Over the next 12-18 months, however, we believe the larger smartphones, commonly called phablets, will start to eat into the smaller-size tablet market, contributing to a slower growth rate for tablets".

So which side are you on? Or would you like to stick to a PC and save it from an eminent doom? Let us know in the comments.
