Follow the trend of iPad tablet PC up to 32 models

As the iPhone became popular after the touch screen mobile phone, after the iPad, the touch-type tablet PC has also become a fashion product that the industry is competing to emulate. The collective participation of manufacturers in the 3C field, Lenovo Hewlett-Packard Dell is in it.

According to recent statistics, there have been 32 iPad-type tablet PCs that have been developed, under development, or rumors in the world.

Brand PC makers invest heavily

“Tablet PCs are the first products that allow 3C vendors to participate collectively.” Li Yi, a Chinese consumer electronics industry observer, commented yesterday that “all vendors from the PC, communications and home appliance industries are in the process of deployment.”

A wave of new consumption triggered by tablet PCs seems to be in close proximity. The foreign technology website Technologize has made preliminary statistics on these follow-up products. According to its follow-up announcement, the list of similar iPad products including Lenovo, Hewlett-Packard, Dell, Asus, Cisco, Toshiba, Fujitsu and other manufacturers, plans also include Samsung, Sony and other companies. These follow-up tablet PCs, like the iPad, are not equipped with physical keyboards, rely on full touch operation, and appear smaller than the iPad.

From a price point of view, the prices of these tablet PCs vary greatly. The cheapest price is around US$150, the most expensive one is US$1,100, and most of the price is between US$399 and US$499, which is similar to the current iPad price. In terms of operating systems, latecomers use the Google Android system, or Microsoft's Windows 7, and believe that there will be a significant difference in the use of the iPad.

Domestic followers have already appeared

In fact, there is no lack of followers in the domestic iPad. Previously, Hanwang and the Patriots have successively introduced tablet computer products, in which Patriots emphasized the "localization" of application software, hoping to attract users' choices by using Chinese software such as stocks or children's education. In addition, Great Wall Computer, Malata, Shenzhen Chuangzhicheng, BYD, and even GOME have also joined the competition.

“Simply estimate that 85% of PC manufacturers have been laid out in the field of tablet PCs. This is an industry that cannot be left behind.” Li Yi commented. “Home appliance makers like TCL and Skyworth have also shown clear interest in tablets. A special department study was established."

However, in Li Yi’s view, even if the iPad is under pressure from the military, it can still maintain its advantages for a long time. “It’s not the latecomers who can catch up with its fashion sense, user experience, application, positioning and accurate advertising system. What's more important is that the iPad may also introduce price reductions."
