iPad tablet PC sales continues to hold top :
As an insider of technology, I bet you must have learned that this news that Amazon’s Jeff Bezos announced on September 28 that the Kindle Fire will be released on November 15 and with it we’ve reached “an end to an ecosystem.” In other word, apple’s ipad will meet a new rival. Which one will be the last winner on earth? Let’s have a close look at some details of Kindle Fire and ipad.
Five key features of Kindle Fire:
Connectivity options vary. Kindle Fire is wifi only. iPad 2 offers two options. One wifi only; the other wifi + 3G with data plan access available from AT&T or Verizon.
Video calls are not offered on Kindle Fire, while iPad 2 has FaceTime.
Apps are no contest, as very few will be available for the Kindle Fire at launch.
Though Amazon is using Android technology for the Kindle Fire, they plan to curate their own apps instead of adopting the 225,000 plus currently available for Android. iPad 2 offers over 500,000 apps available via iTunes.Adobe Flash works on Kindle Fire. A long-standing concern for Apple customers is that Adobe Flash doesn’t work on Apple devices including iPad 2.(extensive reading:transfer ipad 2 to computer)
Accessories are again no contest. Apple offers a wide variety of covers, docks, chargers, etc. for iPad 2. Kindle Fire is likely to catch up quickly on the accessory front, which is both lucrative and just plain fun.
According to foreign media reports, market research firm Gartner recently estimated that in the end of 2011, Apple iPad will achieve a market share of 73.4%, compared with 83% of the end of 2010 the share has declined.
Gartner’s data also show that overall sales of tablet PCs this year will reach 63.6 million units, up 261.4 percent compared with 2010.While Apple products in the market share decline, but in the next few years it will still rule the Tablet PC market. Gartner research director Carolina Milanesi said the company’s vice predicted Apple in 2014 will maintain a 50% market share. The reason is Apple’s products in terms of hardware, software or service gave the user a good experience, unless the other competitors in these areas to achieve a similar standard, otherwise their threat to Apple is minimal.
Android flat sales in 2011 only 11 million units, Gartner has its Android Tablet PC sales expected to reduce by 28%. In the end of this year, Android’s market share will reach 17.3%, 14.3% more than last year’s increase. But Milanesi is very optimistic about Android’s prospects, she believes that the Android market share was mainly due to lower prices too high, not too strong flat-panel user interface and limited application. Google will soon solve these problems.
From above all, we can draw a safe conclusion that Amazon Kindle Fire Tablet PC is obviously a considerable impact on the market. But in the long run, we can predict that apple’s ipad has some good advantage over it.
