While some industry experts have been concerned that the phablet, or hybrid telephone and tablet would not perform well in the market because of its bulk, assessment of sales of the new technology reveal that the merger of tablet and phone is seen as a welcome affair by the public.

In addition to public acceptance, the new phablets are becoming increasingly light-weight and thinner, therefore easier for people to carry around.

Researchers predict sales of phablets will outsell small tablets.  This comparison is made with those devices with screen sizes less than eight inches.  They estimate that in 2013 they will see sales of 175 million.  165 million of the non-mobile counterparts projected for the year shows the difference of 10 million sales will reveal the special popularity of phablets.

Technology experts have noticed people are scaling down sizes of portable devices from the larger tablets and computers to the smaller handheld devices, as portability and power levels are recognized as important to have in a fast-paced world.
