<description><![CDATA[Best Buy is getting ready to bulk up itstablet offerings with new products from Toshiba and Hewlett-Packard, echoing a trend seen a few years back with Netbooks. Toshiba's Thrive tablet is the latest tablet listed as &quot;coming soon&quot; on Best Buy's site and appears next to HP's TouchPad (see graphic below), which is also due soon. Though Best Buy has yet to list prices, the TouchPad has reportedly been listed at other retailers for $599 for a 32GB Wi-Fi version, while Toshiba's Wi-Fi tablet has been listed for $449, according to a report at Netbooknews. HP's TouchPad is based on the webOS and sports a 9.7-inch screen, a dual-core 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, and front and back cameras. Toshiba's offering runs Google's &quot;Honeycomb&quot;Android 3.0 operating system and comes with a dual-core 1GHz Nvidia Tegra 2 processor, a 10.1-inch display, front and rear cameras, an SD card reader, and HDMI and USB 2.0 ports. Best Buy is quickly adding new tablets in the wake of its creation of a new &amp;39'Tablet Central&amp;39' area in its stores. A trend not unlike what happened with Netbooks a few years back. (Credit:Best Buy)The nation's largest consumer electronics retailer is scrambling to accommodate the surge of tablets by setting aside dedicated tablet-only areas in its stores. A strategy similar to its response to the burgeoning Netbook market a few years back. In 2008, the tiny Asus Eee PC--the original Netbook--initially appeared at Best Buy as little more than an laptop oddity, relegated to isolated corners at its stores. That changed dramatically in 2009 and 2010 as HP, Dell, Acer, Gateway, and Toshiba jumped into the Netbook fray. Best Buy eventually dedicated relatively large tracts of shelf space for Netbooks (though that trend is seeing a reversal of sorts now, as tablets encroach upon the Netbook market). But tablets may present a marketing challenge for Best Buy. While Netbooks were a relatively easy sell--essentially, a smaller, lighter, cheaper laptop--the utility of tablets isn't always easy to explain because they occupy the middle ground between two clearly defined markets, the smartphone and the laptop. This has resulted, so far, in a &quot;confusing shopping experience&quot; in some cases, as described by analysts at DisplaySearch. <br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Web traffic spiked early this morning.(Credit:Akamai)The royal wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton went off without a hitch today--both in Westminster Abbey and online.According to global CDN provider Akamai, &quot;early data&quot; has revealed that the number of concurrent users streaming the royal wedding around the Web outstripped the highest peak of concurrent users who watched the World Cup last year. Akamai plans to provide final numbers on that later today.Even so, comparing the royal wedding's performance with other major events can be difficult. For one, workers in the U.K. were given today off, which means many of them were likely watching the festivities at home from their televisions. Moreover, the event occurred when many in the United States were still sleeping, which could have negatively affected the live feed of the event, but buoyed viewership figures on videos watched later in the day.&quot;There are a lot of factors involved with these live events, which is why we can't call one event the biggest or larger than another,&quot; an Akamai spokeswoman told CNET in an e-mailed statement today. &quot;It's like comparing apples and oranges sometimes.&quot;At 3:30 a.m. PT today, Akamai said that it saw traffic to global news sites spike in Europe with 1.6 million page views pelting pages every minute. As North American viewers started joining in this morning, page views hit nearly 5.4 million per minute to the news sites it services. At that time, worldwide traffic to news sites was 64 percent higher than it is normally.Screenshot from a YouTube video just before the royal wedding vows were exchanged Friday.(Credit:YouTube, The Royal Channel/ Screenshot by CNET)Broadband analyst Sandvine reported today that &quot;real-time traffic in North America&quot; was up 20 percent at 3:30 a.m. PT this morning, compared to the same time period last week.Users have also taken to social networks to discuss the royal wedding. Both worldwide and in the United States, the royal wedding and items related to Prince William and Kate are trending topics on Twitter. A quick search on Twitter for royal Wedding-related tweets reveals people are still updating the site every few seconds with comments on the festivities.YouTube, which partnered with the royal family to deliver the official live feed to the Web, told CNET today that it doesn't have any numbers to share just yet.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>
