Since the initial public offering of the Apple iPad in April last year, Apple has been the only one in the tablet market. However, as more and more tablet PC products enter the market this year, Apple's monopoly situation is likely to be broken, and the tablet PC market is likely to enter the "first year of competition."

At the Las Vegas International Consumer Electronics Show, which opened on January 6th, tablet PCs are undoubtedly the hottest products.

Colin Gillis, an analyst at BGC in the United States, said: "This is like starting a tablet computer (market competition), but Apple has already had a one-year first-mover advantage."

According to Gartner Consulting, the total global tablet PC sales this year is expected to reach 55 million units. The United States Goldman Sachs estimates that the total sales of iPad tablet PCs this year will reach 37.2 million units. This shows that other companies will get a share of the Tablet PC market from Apple.
