According to a report on the Mobile Unified Communications market, TMCnet, the online industry magazine, has identified an increase in the range of VoIP solutions available to consumers.

The report analyses Google’s just-hinted tablet, which is expected to be VoIP-capable. This is part of Google’s overall corporate commitment to integration, with Google Voice and other VoIP solutions forecast to be available on the product.

The research shows that tablets are growing in importance, with four million media tablets expected to be shipped worldwide this year. This is especially relevant at the moment with the recent launch of Apple’s iPad.

The importance of mobility to devices such as laptops, smartphones and now the tablets are key to the development of VoIP, as they all rely heavily on Internet services and the ability to communicate from any location.

This means that the emergence of tablets may lead to a significant growth in remote working if businesses decide to use them within their organisation.

As tablets typically come with a variety of in-built devices necessary for VoIP, ranging from webcams to microphones to high-bandwidth routers, it is expected that the growth in the emerging tablet sector will have direct effects on VoIP.
