Research shared by the Online Publishers Association (2012), reports that about 31% of the U.S. Internet population uses a tablet device. Based on estimated U.S. internet population data (ages 8-64) from the U.S. Census Bureau and eMarketer (a digital market research company), that's approximately 74.1 million consumers. This number is up from 12% (about 28.3 million consumers) in 2011 and is expected to reach 47% by early 2013 (estimated as 117.4 million consumers). According to Apple's fiscal results for the quarter ending on September 29, 2012, 14 million iPads were sold in that quarter alone (Apple Press Info, 2012). That is a lot of tablet devices!
