Recently, Apple Incorporation launched a very successful innovation—the IPad. Considering it is to be said tablet computers will overtake the technological market Dell Incorporation has come with an innovation. They are planning on launching a seven-inch tablet in a very near future as well as offering it in ten-inch size among the next months. Additionally Dell mentioned they will be bringing new products (“a whole slew of new products”) into the market in the next months.
The seven-inch tablet will operate Google Incorporation’s, Android smartphone’s system as well as Microsoft Corporation’s Windows system. Dell also plans to expand its service towards other countries such as China, considering other big companies have already started expanding as well, in this case selling their five-inch tablet in Australia. Dell’s expectations all point in a good direction, expecting its annual revenue to exceed US $60 billion this year. They also mention their service in China will overtake the Us as the company’s biggest market by 2012, expecting to grow from 18%-20% in its market share.

Have there been any product comparisons with the Apple iPad yet? Specifically, price, features, processor, etc.?
ReplyDeleteAdditionally, Blackberry just revealed their tablet which will run on the Blackberry OS. This really shows how many companies are entering the tablet market. It will be interesting to see how these tablet computers compete against the iPad that already has a head start on the market.
Do you feel that there are any potential threats to Apple's tablet market?

ReplyDeleteAs any other product line, competition against the iPad is now arising. The Blackberry OS and the Dell tablet will soon come to the market.
ReplyDeleteI believe there are no critical threats to Apple's tablet market because the 'apple trend' has greatly satisfied the public. Off course there will be competition but I believe Apple does not have to worry in this case. If they see their market is falling, and even if not, they will probably shoot a better line of the current tablet. It is the same as the iPod market; even though other similar devices to it have been thrown into the market, the iPod hasn't had any issues. Either there is a new version or people just prefer iPod over other products.
