I told you today that the iPad tablet was banned from sale in stores in China and the news is not at all surprising considering that for several weeks everyone has been talking about the problems that Apple has in that Asian country. To remove the iPad tablet from sale could benefit Samsung and Lenovo, according to some Asian analysts, who say that the tablets of the two companies will now have a much better chance of attracting consumers in one of the largest markets on the globe.
Samsung will probably benefit more from Apple's ongoing lawsuit because both of them are after the same higher-end consumers, given their price points," said Dickie Chang of IDC. "The impact on Lenovo may be less because Lepads are lower priced and are aimed more at entry-level users.
Apple sold 10 times more tablets than Lenovo in China and the difference compared to Samsung is 20 times greater, so the analysts' predictions are a bit premature. Consumers want iPad tablets and even if the product will not now be available for purchase, this does not mean that many will look at inferior tablets but will choose to buy the tablet from the black market that is so well organized in China. Samsung and Lenovo have no chance to win so many customers because people don't want their products.
