Can Any Of These Tablets Catch The IPad?
Because the iPad was first to market with its tablet, and basically created a new form of mobile computing, it was able to build a big lead in market share over any competitors. 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. But which devices are most likely to put up a significant challenge to the iPad?.
Blackberry is looking to take up the challenge with the Playbook, which is a slightly strange 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 price tag coming in below $500, it could well be a very attractive option for a lot of users.
Samsungs offering the Galaxy Tab has sold well to date, and Samsung are already working on the Galaxy 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 Tab utilises the Android operating system, which means it will have a head start with any users that have Android phones, and the app store also continues to grow at a rapid pace.
Many of the competing offers have tended to follow a very similar design to the iPad, however the Kno is looking to stand out from the crowd with its duel screen. 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 different 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 combine the netbook and tablet, 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.
