Sales of tablets in Poland increased, as measured in volume, by 615% annually in 2012, CRN.pl reported, quoting data from Context. Over the course of last year, a total of 461,600 units were sold on the Polish market. The increase in value totalled 423% year on year due to a decline of suppliers’ average price. The final quarter of 2012 represented more than half of tablet sales last year. Between October and December, 232,000 units were sold.
