The iPad tablet currently has no rival, regardless of which market segment we are talking about, the product registering the highest sales in the entire industry. Those from Google and Samsung are not satisfied with this success of the iPad intends to launch a high-end tablet with a 10-inch screen, 2.560 x 1.600 resolution and 299 pixels per inch, hoping that they will dethrone the iPad tablet. The new product of the two companies will not be cheap, users will probably have to pay approximately the same price as in the case of the iPad tablet, but they will receive Android instead of iOS.
The 10.1-inch tablet will boast a pixel density that is higher than Apple's third-generation iPad, said Richard Shim, an analyst at NPD DisplaySearch. The 2,560×1,600 display will have a PPI (pixels per inch) of about 299, said Shim. That tops the 264 PPI on the 9.7-inch 2,048×1,536 Retina iPad. "It's going to be a high-end device," Shim said — in contrast with Google's $199 Nexus 7 and upcoming $99 tablet.
The tablet will be part of the Nexus series, it will not copy elements of the iPad and will probably generate enough attention among consumers. Whether it will have good sales or not remains to be seen, especially if the selling price will be relatively high, expensive Android tablets failing to convince consumers for the time being that they are worth buying. However, in order to make the tablet attractive, those from Google demand the development of more applications compatible with Android tablet screens, but it remains to be seen how many developers will answer the call, considering that Android is very fragmented.
In conclusion, the iPad will have a serious competitor, I hope, and Apple will probably quietly watch for a year until it innovates.
