Google has been in the field of smart phones gain a firm foothold and become a market maker to enter the Tablet PC operating system provider. But Google faces a small problem, the Android was originally designed for a smart phone operating system, smart phone screen size is too small, forcing Google introduced a Tablet PC operating system optimization - Android 3.0 - Honeycomb. Honeycomb debut in early 2011, Motorola Xoom tablet.

 Meanwhile, Samsung, LG and other companies released the latest Tablet PC running Honeycomb; HP said, webOS operating system is not only assigned to mobile devices, will enter the PC. wholesale electronic stores

Based on customer response, the public preference for flat-panel computer increase in the past year and affected areas of the enterprise, IT administrators, said more and more people want to Tablet PC take up the role of the daily office.

 Microsoft and manufacturers teamed up to launch a small amount of Windows 7 Tablet PC, Tablet PC, but failed to enter the consumer market. There are rumors that Microsoft released in 2012 Tablet PC Windows 8 will be added optimization elements.

Android Tablet PC Can not Compete with the iPad

 

All that being said, the specific reasons are as follows: 1, Android 2.2 will not work Google has made ​​it clear that, Android 2.2 is designed for smart phones. And so far as the Tablet PC can not provide a suitable version of the operating system, Android, even at the earliest to later this year. So far, some manufacturers have already heard of Google's warning and decided to postpone their products to market. But others are not. This is a bold, but may be low-level approach. Android 2.2 is not prepared for the Tablet PC's. Once they realize this, iPad will be more sought after.

2, Google and Google is not fully invested most worried about is its smart phone operating system. This makes sense. Because this is Google the most profitable areas to produce, but also most of its partners in the competitive field of equipment. Recognizing this, Apple have a chance. Since Google's attention is elsewhere, so Apple can continue to improve its Tablet devices, continue to attract customers. The longer, Android harder to catch up.

3, it is the Android operating system, a numbers game Google's Android platform, a conversion device needs help to be successful. As shown in the field of smart phones, and a single product can not beat Apple's iPhone. However, some products can add up together. Similarly, in the same field of flat panel devices. Because of this, you want to catch up with Apple, Google needs to add more useful applications to the tablet device. This is, I believe that Google and Apple are very clear.wholesale electronic shop online

4, consumer demand is not big there was no indication that consumers really want an Android tablet. The reason is simple: people still do not know any mainstream of these products, which is the supplier will fail to market part of the reason. But it also is the iPad, the impact on the market too. Until consumers realize that they want to Android tablet device, they will continue to choose Apple as an alternative.

That is the reason for tablet PC development in the market, with advantages then take the market. wholesale electronic stores

Android's Dilemma Makes Tablet PC not Easy To Move

Over the past year, it is not difficult to find the passengers, the use of tablet PCs boredom of air travel has become more and more, and almost exclusively with the use of a product - Apple's iPad. However, bottlenecks in the upstream supply chain, apparently is not troubled by all the Tablet PC industry chain resistance.

According to this reporter it is learned that in addition to Apple iPad independent operating system configurations, the vast majority of the tablet PC products using Android - This was originally designed for the mobile platform mobile operating system, some use 2.1 version, some use 2.2. wholesale electronic stores

The nature of Android is a platform for the mobile phone operating system, when the Tablet PC platform is used, more or less there will be differences on the fit.

For example, based on the Android platform, Tablet PC, the multi-task display, the reaction is not enough fluid. "Android is designed specifically for mobile phones, mobile phone multi-tasking will not be as frequently used as tablet PCs. Therefore, to apply it to a tablet PC, it will not meet all functions. " wholesale electronic shop online

Android Tablet PC chip solution provider Rockchip Chen Feng, director of marketing, told reporters: "system stability, is the Android platform, one of the biggest test of tablet PCs. "

Besides, Android operating system upgrades frequently, the problem of troubled mobile phone platform, it also affects the Tablet PC developer.

Android phones compared to only upgrade the difficulties facing the system, Android faces phone and tablet PC application software incompatibility.

Although the system as an open platform, Android has attracted now more than 10 million applications software, but most are designed for mobile platforms.

A very simple reason, as a game application, the phone control and manipulation in Tablet PC, a completely different experience. "Tablet manufacturers aforementioned sources, and even some software applications designed for mobile phones in the Tablet PC platform, totally not running.

This makes Android platform, Tablet PC manufacturers, had to spend more of the cost of doing software development and adaptation of secondary work.They mainly co-operation with third-party developers, on the Android platform, Tablet PC optimization and adaptation.

Even so, hundreds of thousands of Android face mass applications, applications can really stable flat platform Android was limited.

Surprising development of Tablet PC

Michael Dell was not willing to talk about personal computers. As Dell's CEO, he had to reverse the PC industry, but now pressure injection in the diversification of the company away from the best-known PC products. Michael Dell, 46, in recent years focused on the acquisition, such as storage and security systems, Dell hopes to reduce low-profit dependence on desktops and laptops. Dell acquired in 2009 when Perot Systems, to spend 3.9 billion. Last year, it compete with Hewlett-Packard 3Par, ultimately failed, then the acquisition of its peer Compellent Technologies, costs $ 960,000,000.

  After spending several years in the unstable, Dell recently began to enhance performance. It remained stable in the PC business, but smart phones and tablet computers are very small improvement. Since 2007, CEO Michael Dell to return to office since, Dell shares fell 35%.
   In 1984, Michael Dell founded the Dell University.

Recently, Michael Dell received the "Wall Street Journal"interview, reads as follows:

The Wall Street Journal: Do you return to the CEO position for 4 years. During this time, the technology of the most surprise you is what is innovation?
   Michael Dell: I may say that the rapid development of tablet PCs. I did not totally see it coming. Tablet PC is not new to Tablet PC in terms of creativity, which for some time. Clearly, recent product more successful.Interestingly, business users do not intend to give up the smart phone, it will not give up the PC. So now we have PC, a smart phone, there are tablet PCs. That sounds good. Industry growth.
     Another interesting phenomenon is the great success of Apple's iPhone. Android comes hand in hand, to achieve greater success. I would like to see this on the Tablet PC is like, including Dell, a large number of Android Tablet PC's role in this market. wholesale electronic shop online

The Wall Street Journal: Do you think over time, Android iPad tablet will be more than it?

Michael Dell: Not tomorrow, not after tomorrow. However, if you look 18 months ago, Andoird phone looks like, people will ask "what. " Android phone is now more than the iPhone. Why is such a thing will not happen to Android Tablet PC?

The Wall Street Journal: In 2007, you big reforms in the consumer business, and it would be a great company support, you still hold this view?
    Michael Dell: Dell two-thirds of the profit is not PC, only one-third, of which most are not consumer business PC. I just wanted to today's Dell positioning, people look at Dell, and then went to purchase, said, "Dell is a consumer PC company. " That is absolutely not true today, looks like Dell. Of course, we want to growing consumer business, we want its profit growth.
    Last quarter, our consumer business profits moderate. It looks like we have given a good bit of profit this year will remain modest. We invest a great product, but the company's epicenter will shift to enterprise solutions, services, data center, storage, virtualization, security? Not. We want to enter many markets, the consumer market is just one of them. wholesale electronic stores

     Michael Dell: I think the economy in the parade, in emerging countries, in small and medium businesses and large enterprises have improved. However, due to budget issues, the challenges facing the field of public utilities. However, it is still some chance to, because when the budget is limited, people will find ways to save money, many times will use more information technology.

Strategy of Cheap Price in the era of Tablet fails

The article on the "Business Week " United States reported that Acer, Asus and other PC makers in Taiwan have always liked the price war with competitors, Fengqiang market share. However, when the advent of tablet PCs, personal computers, when not brilliant, low-cost strategy will gradually out of order.

In the past, in order to become a leader in the global electronics industry, Taiwan's business has always followed a simple strategy: When the ailing competitors when the price war, competition for market share. For example, in the worst global financial crisis, Acer, Asus focused on the development of a small, inexpensive notebook computers - notebook, to less than major competitors prices. wholesale electronic stores

Acer CEO and president Gianfranco Lanci (Gianfranco Lanci) suddenly announced his resignation; Acer explain the reasons for departure, said Samaranch, mainly because his company's development strategy differences with other directors. What causes so much of Taiwan PC companies suffered setbacks? Apple CEO Steve Jobs answer is (Steve Jobs) and the release of  iPad tablet in the April 2010. wholesale electronic shop online

Taiwan, the attractiveness of the production of low-end products simply can not and cost roughly the same compared to the Apple Tablet PC. Before the advent of the iPad, the global notebook PC shipments to double-digit growth every year, but with the launch of Apple's tablet, notebook computer market began to decline: the first quarter of 2011, shipments increased by only 1 %. Post-PC era began in 2010, Taiwan companies are in great helpless.

Now, they just rush to prepare to launch its own Tablet PC. Acer said the Tablet PC will soon be publishing a variety of products, ASUS Eee Pad Transformer also accept orders for Tablet PC. The two companies launched one year later than Apple Tablet PC. IDC analyst Bryan Enma (Bryan Ma) said: "The question is not whether you have Tablet PC, as other companies also have launched this product. The point is that what is unique your product own compared to competitors ?

To compensate for the losses caused by late reaction, Acer and ASUS PC may be used in a time-tested strategy: low price market share from rivals. However, the reputation for high-end products, known for Apple's changed the strategy, not to give opponents time to breathe. The company iPad pricing is very low, so that the tablet has already become a low-priced products. Capital market research analyst Clark Balai Ke Yang (Kirk Yang) said: "Apple wants to compete for market share as fast as possible, so that competitors can not take a slice from. This is nothing sort of the elimination of opponents. "
