By 2016, more than one-third of Americans will own tablet computers.
That prediction from Forrester shows why it's so important for Microsoft and its hardware partners to come out with viable competitors to the iPad.
Forrester says that U.S. customers will purchase more than 227 million tablets between 2010 and 2016. The refresh cycle for tablets will be two years -- about the same as smartphones, but quite a lot faster than PCs. That fast refresh cycle means that 112 million Americans will own tablets by 2016 -- that's projected to be about 34% of the population.
