Apple's iPad and the rest of the tablet market will boost the whole home technology industry 60 percent further than it would have grown otherwise, the Consumer Electronics Association estimated on Monday. After originally predicting a 3.5 percent year-over-year climb in 2011, the CEA now believed tablets would push the growth to 5.6 percent, to $190 billion. The spike would be $4 billion more than thought and would see more than seven percent, or $14 billion, of the industry's revenue come from tablets alone.
