New Tablet Computers Scheduled For Release
It’s safe to say that the iPad had the market almost to itself in the first 6 months after launch, and was able to build up a big lead in market share with the early adopters. And it is currently one of the most sort after products on the following shopping site www.uk-shoppingonline.com. However, there are a slew of competing devices about to hit the market, all looking to take market share from Apple. So who the key players most likely to offer competition to the iPad?.
Blackberry is looking to take up the challenge with the Playbook, which is a interesting choice for a name when you consider that Blackberry is well known for its mobile devices for business, and the Playbook will no doubt be primarily aimed at the business user. Blackberry have gone for a more compact 7 inch screen and with a competitive price tag below $500 it could definitely provide some serious competition to the iPad.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab is already selling well, and Samsung is currently working on the Tab 2 which will have an AMOLED screen (active matrix organic light emitting diode) which is made up of OLED pixels and are ultra thin, ultra bright and don’t require a backlight. The Galaxy is built on the Android operating system, and therefore the number of apps developed for it will continue to grow rapidly over the coming year.
Many of the competing offers have tended to follow a very similar design to the iPad, whereas the Kno is definitely trying to differentiate itself by having a duel screen option. The Kno is mainly being aimed at the student market being marketed as a digital textbook. It does come in a single and duel screen versions, but it’s really the duel screen that makes this product stand out from the other tablets. This product could well appeal to students, but unless the user is after a really large screen it’s hard to see this product having mass market appeal.
Another product that is trying to differentiate itself is the Dell Inspiron Duo. The Inspiron Duo is Dells attempt to merge the tablet and netbook, as it has a 10.1 inch touchscreen that flips out into a netbook. The key advantage of the Inspiron is having a proper keyboard to type on. The key factor for the consumer to weigh up is that if they are looking for a small device that has a keyboard, would they be better with a standard netbook or Macbook Air.
