Although it has more than one study proved statistically that the popularity of tablet PCs, and Specifically, iPad, among inexorably growing users, analysts do not get tired of spending all new polls. This time, the research firm Robert W. Baird decided estimate demand on different models of tablets in the US, more precisely, in the central region of the country, subject to certain regions in the south and west. Interviewees were affluent segment of the male population of the region. They are the ones who can afford high-tech gadgets.
The subjects were asked about the possibility of choosing a tablet from the list. According to the study, 1,100 potential purchases 94.5% of tablets would have to be exactly on iPad. In second place was the product TouchPad from HP. He was voted 10.3% of respondents. Third place went to the notorious Xoom from Motorola. On the heels of Xoom steps Galaxy Tab, Samsung brainchild, which caused a lot of disputes and litigation with Apple regarding his likeness on iPad. By the way, Samsung has released the first tablet with 4G-enabled networks. Significantly behind in terms of the popularity of the gadget PlayBook from RIM (3,8%). The survey also mentioned and HTC Flyer, and the electronic "readerĀ» Nook Color Barnes & Noble's production.
Despite the number of different manufacturers iPad alternatives, other news is not particularly affect the market and the attention of potential consumers. This - not a good sign for the sphere of consumer electronics. Indeed, the majority of buyers now prefer tablets even personal computers. Manufacturers sometimes have to make significant savings on their devices in order to attract the attention of users. So we have been forced to do at HP, offering customers a discount on the TouchPad at $ 100.
The reason for the low consumer interest in tablet devices from HP, RIM, Samsung and others (besides the love of many inhabitants to "apple" brand), is also a modest alternative functionality tablets versus iPad. Thus, in the PlayBook are lacking access to e-mail and calendar (to get them, you must use the tablet with your BlackBerry smartphone). And with a variety of applications, there are difficulties. And it is - just a single example.
No matter how hard to keep up with rivals Apple and release the ability to fight for a share of alternative tablet market, they succeed quite sluggish. Theoretically, any product there is a particular consumer, but in practice the iPad supporters are still in the majority, and the situation is unlikely to change in favor of someone from competing manufacturers of tablets in the next couple of years old.
