Global tablet computer sales are expected to hit 145 million this year , a research firm said wenesday in the latest upgrade of the sizziling segment.

ABI Research said it raised its forecast due to a " combination of new market entrants , more affordable choises for consumers and increased adoption by bussiness audiences" .

" The rate of innovation is slowing down as tablet vendours augment their product portfolios to meet the needs of market audiences ",says ABI's Jeff Orr.
