The tablet industry, projected to be a $ 70Billion market in 2014, is growing at a rapid rate. The rate of growth is over $ 40Million per day, as consumers have quickly adopted top devices from Apple, Amazon, Samsung, Sony and other manufacturers. XF.com Investments has decided to put Tablets.com up for offers, due to the tremendous opportunities that lie ahead in this market.

The rolling odometer on the Tablets.com website shows just how rapidly this industry is growing. RBC Capital Markets expects the tablet market to reach 185 million units sold in calendar 2014, up 83 percent compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 17 million units in calendar 2010. XF.com Investments, based in Missouri, has not set an asking price for the asset.

We are going to let the market determine the final sales price, said Aron Meystedt with XF.com Investments. We feel the size and growth of this industry will drive the final sales price of Tablets.com up, however, we havent set a target price yet, he added. Once a bid comes across that we feel is fair for this opportunity, we will accept it and move forward.

Recent sales have shown the true value of a category leading domain name. Toys.com, Clothes.com, Sex.com (and many unreported sales) have traded hands for 7 and 8 figure sums. Recently, Citrix assigned an $ 18Million value to their Cloud.com domain name, which it acquired as part of an overall $ 200Million Cloud.com business purchase earlier this year. This further illustrates the value of a top .com in a growing tech category, Aron added. Additionally, the tablet industry is producing several major investments and buyouts, including this weeks agreement for Rakuten to pay $ 315Million for tablet creator Kobo.

Meystedt adds, XF.com Investments feels this is a tremendous opportunity for a company or investment group to enter a fast growing market with the top domain name to help propel their business forward.

Tablets.com enables a company to:

Convey market dominance.

Increase traffic to brand content.

Receive top search engine placements.

Own the category defining domain asset for this industry projected to be $ 70Billion in 2014.

Establish instant credibility and trust in the marketplace.

Columbus, Oh (PRWEB) December 01, 2011

Today, Forbes ranked e-Cycle LLC #68 on its annual list Americas Most Promising Companies. One of only three Ohio companies to appear on this prestigious list, e-Cycle was the only company from Central Ohio to receive a ranking.

Forbes Americas Most Promising Companies list features 100 privately held up-and-comers with compelling business models, strong management teams, notable customers, strategic partners and precious investment capital.

Sizing up younger, privately held companies is hard: Their fortunes can change very quickly and theres a dearth of public data, says Forbes Executive Editor Brett Nelson. We took a more comprehensive approach to evaluate their health and potential.

To sharpen its search, Forbes teamed up with CB Insights, a Manhattan-based data firm that tracks investment in high-growth private companies. With $ 650,000 in grants from the National Science Foundation, CB has developed complex software called Mosaic that mines myriad online sources (from press releases and social networks to job boards and court filings) to come up with one, algorithmically derived score that measures a private companys health. Forbes married Mosaics data-crunching with old-fashioned reporting to assemble a list of rising stars with bright growth prospects. To view the complete the list, please visit http://www.forbes.com/ampc.

e-Cycle is the leading provider of wireless mobile buyback, data deletion and recycling services for businesses and major organizations. The company achieved 558 percent business growth between 2007 and 2010 and created more than 75 green jobs at its Ohio headquarters.

We are thrilled to be recognized by Forbes this year. I am extremely proud of the hard work and dedication of the entire e-Cycle team to provide unparalleled service for our clients, said Christopher Irion, founder and CEO of e-Cycle. Our success, however, would not be possible without the growing commitment to responsible e-waste reuse, recycling, and data security by the organizations that we serve. We applaud their environmental stewardship and thank them for their continued trust.

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) November 22, 2011

Xobni, the leader in email and contact management, today announced the results from a November online survey conducted on its behalf by Harris Interactive among over 2,800 adults. The surveys shows that the majority of employed American adults with work email (68%) check emails during traditional family holidays such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc. Of these, more than one in four (27%) do so multiple times throughout the day. Additionally, a comparison with last years survey results shows that men are checking email less than they were last year (58% in 2011 vs 67% in 2010) and that the gender gap is closing with respect to checking email on holidays.

American workers continue to be inundated with email at work and this latest survey shows that there is no sign of slowing down during the holiday season with 79 percent of those that check email while on holiday stating that they have received a work-related email from a colleague or client on holidays.

The onslaught of work is leading to more acceptance and attentiveness to work on holidays, with less people (37%) feeling annoyed, frustrated or resentful after receiving work-related emails on holidays than last year (41%). The intensity of this feeling appears to subside with age, as 41 percent ages 18-34 shared the above reactions compared to just 17 percent of adults 55+.

SILVER LINING OF EMAIL ON HOLIDAYS

On the bright side, many people welcomed the email in fact, 19 percent of those that ever received work emails from a colleague while off for the holiday even cited feeling thankful for the distraction or relieved. The survey also found that the draw of work email might just be too hard to get away from. Forty-one percent of those that check work email while they have time off for the holidays believe that staying up-to-date on email eases their workloads once they return from break. One in ten (10%) of respondents ages 18-44 stated that they did so while spending time with friends or relatives at Holiday parties/gatherings or during meals or another inappropriate time. Better yet, some (6%) admitted to using work email as a way to avoid awkward family/holiday commitments and crazy friends and/or relatives.

YEAR-OVER-YEAR CHANGES IN EMAIL HABITS

Interestingly, the number of people expecting to receive and check work-related email over the holidays was shockingly similar to the results from the same survey in 2010. The percentage of people expecting to receive work-related email was exactly the same (79%) year-over-year, as was the percentage of people (19%) that felt thankful for the distraction or relieved at receiving work-related email. However, there could be a silver lining to the email madness: Survey data shows that the number of people that expect to check work email has dropped 4 percent (59% in 2010 to 55% this year).

Another notable difference is that it appears were closing the gender gap when it comes to checking work email: Last year, 67 percent of men admitted to checking on holidays and 50 percent of women compared to 58 percent men and 51 percent women in 2011. Also on the bright side, less people are feeling annoyed, frustrated or resentful about receiving work-related emails on holidays (dropped from 41% to 37%), possibly indicating an acceptance to the always on mentality in the workplace.

The Snap features GPS support which allows one to access world maps and locate one’s position at unknown places whereas the Touch doesn’t have such a facility.

Both the handsets are enabled with Wi-Fi, which allows them to send wireless data across far away locations with the help of a nearby hotspot or WLAN. Both handsets support Bluetooth for short-range wireless data transfer and also come with USB port for connecting through a data cable. The Snap offers 3G skills with high speed HSDPA, which allows it to transfer data at a much faster speed whereas the Touch lacks 3G skills. However, both the phones lack a feature called video calling.

The HTC Snap comes with an internal memory of 192 MB RAM and 256 MB ROM whereas the HTC Touch comes in two combinations one with internal memory 128MB RAM and 256MB ROM and another with 64MB RAM and 128MB ROM.

The Snap features a MicroSD card slot for storing up to 16GB of storage area whereas the Touch features a MicroSD card slot of 1GB, which makes snap a better storage phone. Both the handsets are integrated with MP3 and AAC player, which play fairly good music. There are preloaded games in both the devices, which are quite entertaining and interesting to play.
