If the previous year’s statistics are any indication of what consumers spent money on during the holidays, there is a good chance that you or someone you know may be receiving some sort of electronic media device as a gift this year.

Gartner, one of the world's leading information technology research and advisory companies, predicted back in April that "worldwide media tablets sales would reach 119 Million units by year’s end," a 98% increase from the previous year.

A recent Pew Internet study stated that "46% of American adults now own a smartphone of some kind, up from 35% in May 2011."
