In momentul de fata Apple are cea mai populara tableta de pe piata si asta nu se va schimba prea curand pentru ca iPad 3 urmeaza sa fie lansata probabil saptamana viitoare. Noua tableta va atrage atentia unei mari parti a utilizatorilor interesati sa cumpere o tableta iar companii precum Samsung, Motorola sau HTC sunt afectate de acest trend. Totusi nu doar Apple le afecteaza vanzarile ci si tabletele ieftine vandute in China, tableta Kindle Fire vanduta de Amazon si zvonurile care anunta lansarea unei tablete de 7 inch de catre compania Google.
With Apple expected to release its new iPad soon, while Google reportedly may also launch its 7-inch tablet PC as soon as March or April, non-Apple-and-Google tablet PC brand vendors are currently experiencing heavy pressure from the attack of both firms, according to sources from notebook players. With the 10-inch tablet PC market dominated by iPad 2 and the upcoming new iPad, while the 7-inch device market may be competed for fiercely by Amazon’s Kindle Fire and Google’s upcoming US$199 7-inch Android 4.0 tablet PC, and the sub-US$150 tablet PC market is filled with China’s white-box vendors, tablet PC vendors such as Samsung, Asustek, Acer, Toshiba, Sony and Motorola are seeing their living space shrinking quickly.
Pe segmentul tabletelor de 10 inch Apple conduce detasat piata, pe segmentul tabletelor de 7 inch Kindle Fire este lider iar restul producatorilor de tablete nu prea au unde sa intre cu produse proprii care sa inregistreze vanzari cel putin decente. La CES 2012 si Mobile World Congress 2012 ASUS, Samsung si alti producatori si-au prezentat cele mai recente creatii insa din pacate e greu de spus daca produsele lor se vor vinde in macar cateva sute de mii de exemplare in urmatorul an de zile.
