1:40 PM IDC dials up its 2013 tablet forecast by another 11%, this time to 190.9M units. The popularity of smaller tablets is a big reason why - the firm estimates half of Q1 shipments will involve sub-8" devices. Android (GOOG) is now expected to be the most popular OS - IDC forecasts a 48.8% share, up from a prior estimate of 41.5%. The iPad (AAPL) is seen having 46% of the market, and Windows 8/RT (MSFT) just 4.7%. 2017 shipments (not an easy thing to predict) are seen totaling 350M. IDC expects PC shipments to fall 1.3% in 2013 to 345.8M units. (Q4 figures) Read comments
