More than half of the UK population will be regularly using tablet computers in 2015, up from a third in 2013, but the growth is set to slow "dramatically" in the coming years according to research firm eMarketer.

The company's latest predictions for the UK tablet market claim that 32.8 million Brits will be using a tablet at least once a month in 2015, representing 51% of the population - and 64.1% of internet users.
