A close look at why the tablet market isn't coming back

The tablet market has hit a wall. Shipments contracted for the second consecutive quarter at the start of 2015, declining by 6% year-over-year (YoY).

On an annual basis, the tablet market has fallen off dramatically. 
As recently as 2011, annual global tablet shipments growth surged 305%. But by 2014, total tablet shipments growth had slowed to just 8%. 
In a new report from BI Intelligence on the tablet market, we have revised down our tablet shipments projections for what was once the fastest-growing consumer electronics category, after sustained contraction in the tablet market over the past two quarters.

What do I want in a tablet? No camera, no microphone, a USB and micro SD slot, and daylight readable. That's it!

Quit buying your tablet at the dollar store 2:41 and you'll see that a tablet has all you think they don't plus more. With the right app your tablet can become a phone. Most people aren't smart enough to know that a speaker dosent only put sound out but recieves sound as well.
