At yesterday's Apple event, CEO Tim Cook ran through some big numbers that underscored just how strongly the iPad is pacing against PCs when it comes to consumer interest. Today, Gartner released some forecasts that underscore how that story is not set to change any time soon. The analysts say that PC shipments are on track to grow by just 4.4 percent in 2012 -- to 368 million units, as consumers continue to prioritize purchases of new tablets, and smartphones, ahead of buying new laptop or desktop computers. But at least this is a slight improvement on 2011, when Gartner said that shipments were essentially flat on 2010.Source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/JzeGMGng_yY/
