The amount of streaming video content viewed over tablet devices has increased dramatically over the last six months, according to Ooyala’s Q3 Global Video Index report released today.
Ooyala is a video analytics startup that measures anonymized viewing habits of about 200 million unique viewers in more than 130 countries. Its latest quarterly report details how people are shifting from the TV screen to smaller tablet screens.
The boost isn’t that surprising considering the number of affordable tablets that have hit retail shelves over the last three months alone. Some of those include Google’s recently refreshed line of Nexus tablets, Amazon’s new Kindle HD, and Barnes & Noble’s Nook HD, and of course the newly launched iPad mini.
