GADGET SALES GO WAY UP

Small businesses that sell gadgets such as smartphones and tablet computers, or that make or sell accessories for those devices, can look forward to good sales this year. The Consumer Electronics Association says revenue from shipments of tablets is expected to reach $29.1 billion. That’s up 83 percent from 2011 and $10.8 billion more than the trade group forecast in January. The CEA predicts 68.5 million tablets will be sold.
