ARM Worldwide Mobile Computing ODM Manager Roy Chen said he expects more than 50 tablets to show up across the globe. Majority of the devices will certainly use ARM chips, the chip of choice for a lot of mobile devices. We are naturally inclined to believe his prediction considering that he has an inside look into companies and their product plans.

Moreover, he said, a lot of these devices will be available in China from smaller companies that may not necessarily have US presence. These devices will naturally rival the Apple iPad due April 3.
