Whether you need MTSpad or BeePad?

Interesting information entered in RuNet and has managed to surprise many, not only users, but also analysts. As it turned out, MTS closely involved in the development of its own tablet computer. It should become a competitor to iPad from Apple.

According to the data "Kommersant", As recently as the fourth quarter of 2010 will see the light from the tablet MTS. It will run on the Android OS. It is currently known that its prototype touch screen with a diagonal of 7 inches (about 17.78 cm), and it supports the protocols 3G wireless communications (UMTS / HSPA) and WiFi. The feature of this MTS offspring that it is planned to promote it as a device for the use of services by the operator - MTS and navigation services platform 360 (support for social networks, mobile applications, e-mail services and content). This tablet would not support SIM-card to other mobile operators.

There is speculation that develop the model and actually create the notebook from MTS We have companies like Foxconn (already working with Apple) and Pegatron (and it is - a subsidiary of Asus). Although official confirmation of this information from the management of these companies have been reported.

As the analysts believe that the Tablet PC, in principle, has a great future, and their sales will increase significantly within a few years, MTS has every chance of success. Leading analyst Mobile Research Group Eldar Murtazin admits that in the first year after the release of a tablet MTS will sell about 15,000 units sold. But the Director of Business Development Frost & Sullivan research agency in Russia Tatiana Tolmachev has his eyes on this account. In her view, MTS will be able to sell in the first year to 100 thousand units, provided that resort to the same strategy as in the case with their branded phones. Prospects for promotion of the new tablet from MTS is real, since the potential of the Russian market of 500 thousand tablet devices annually Apple claims the implementation only half of the amount.

With regard to a possible gadget prices, the opte it can cost about 10 thousand rubles plus a 50-60% margin. And at a price of 10-12 thousand rubles in retail (which is also spoken by some analysts), this tablet computer at all must break up with a bang.

In addition, the network has the data and the fact that not only the MTS, but also "VimpelCom" and "MegaFon" is also planning to release their brand-name tablets. Amazing how to revive the market of mobile computing after the Apple iPad was released and became insanely popular and popular. Apparently, and now virtually every manufacturer tries to somehow manifest itself in the industry and create an alternative to apple gadget.

Finally I would like to ask readers what they think about the prospects of alternative tablets, agree whether to exchange the iPad at a cheaper device from another manufacturer, and if so, to what conditions?
