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.
