Creative Features
Responding to cheaper smaller screened tablets eating away at Apple’s market share the iPad mini is back challenging tablet rivals such as Amazon’s Kindle Fire, Google’s Nexus 7, Barnes & Nobel Nook, Microsoft’s Windows 8 Surface (a tablet with a keyboard), etc.
Apple’s iPad mini launch offers one of the best performers in a smaller 7 inch tablet arena. On the back of it Microsoft’s has stepped in with their latest operating system Windows 8, described as the biggest change since the mid-90's embracing the ‘touch’ and ‘tile’ based technology. Consumers now want slim-lined touch and tile interface devices with a strong entertainment factor all of which need to provide a lot more choice and fun.
In a report Pew Research Center [www.pewinternet.org] indicates that increasing android competition now account for nearly 41% of tablet market but there isn't a single vendor in the market that even comes close to Apple in terms of volume.
Apple's tablet mindset when creating the iPad mini was framed with some ‘hard choices’ to ensure that it balanced cost against performance so that it didn't try to do too many things or be too expensive. But can the Mini compete and will it now be the time when android competition eventually catches up?
Future Rivalry
Although general global sales is sluggish at the moment may indicate that the flourishing tablet market may soon be maturing. So it will of course be interesting to see how Apple responds and innovates their way into creating even more new product and resultant markets.
Price-point offerings will always be primary and dominant challenger in today’s environment but innovation may put a slightly different spin on new products wooing analysts and investors. So the question arises, will hybrid tablets with different solutions around them replace PCs even though desktops are still here and don’t seem to be fading away!
