A new report from research firm International Data Corporation (IDC) shows that in 2014, the global market share of Windows tablets will increase slightly, while those of Android and iOS tablets will begin to decline.
Analyst firm Gartner Inc. has refuted a recent claim made by International Data Corporation (IDC) that predicted a boost in commercial PC sales in EMEA because businesses and consumers would be looking forward to upgrading their machines from Windows XP. In April 2014, Microsoft would no longer be providing support for Windows XP. The looming end of Windows XP support would only pose a slight, if any, impact on the sales of mobile phones, PCs, and tablets, according to Gartner.
In the first quarter of 2013, worldwide enterprise videoconferencing and telepresence equipment revenue reached $563.4 million, a drop of 13.2 percent year over year and 21.9 percent quarter over quarter. This is the worst result for the segment since the second quarter of 2010, according to International Data Corporation (IDC).
