[FONT=&quot]Boy Genius Report has a story today on a 49-page paper issued by Sanford Bernstein analyst Stacy Rasgon last Thursday, which looked at the current and future markets for consumer tablets. In the report, Rasgon said that Apple was the creator of the market, which he believes the iPad will continue to dominate indefinitely. He points out that the iPad sold 19.5 million units in its first year, which is twice the number of netbooks and three times the number of iPhones sold in the same year. Rasgon adds that he doesn’t think there will be much cannibalisation of PC sales by the tablet boom that he is predicting. [/FONT]
