Why in the field of Tablet PC, Android is still a loser?

Apple's new iPad just listed a few days, sales have exceeded 3 million, continuing to perform with legends. At the same time, iPad makes the tablet market more and more apparent. IPad has been basically eliminated Android, while Microsoft's Tablet PC also has not listed. The race was destined to Apple that will remain substantially leading.

At the end of 2, the Google Andy Rubin announced the Android plate on the market already amounted to 12 million, while the apple in 4 days have been sold 1 /4 of this number. Apple every three months sells so many iPad devices. In the number of the closest competitor to the iPad status of Kindle, at last the holidays sold only about 3 million units. Then, how such a situation will interpret? Why Apple iPad is so ahead of their competitors 3 years ago? Perhaps the following illustrates some problems.

Compared to the other plates, iPad is really great.

iPad owns the best operating system, owns more and better Apps for the user to choose, and also has good prospects of gain, there are a lot of APP developers continuing to build the good ecological system ... Also, these advantages for iPhone is the same. And Android has been in the catch state.

Time has changed

Apple can sell iPad to anyone, without the fear of a similar Verizon and AT&T operators limiting to customers.

On the price, iPad is cheaper than any other competitor's products

In the same price, no other products can provide iPad so good performance and experience, and in a lot of the time, experience can not be measured by money.

Compared to a fully opened Android, closed iOS maybe better

Remember, once a majority of people think that apple is too close, too strict, but when it has nearly 600,000 APPs, not many people think apple is completely closed. Open, closed are relative. In a natural ecosystem, the development of a good ecological system is closed, once a joint not closely related, the whole chain will be damaged with different degrees. At the same time, the ecological system needs fresh blood, needs to break something, needs to create something. And APP development of this ring, I think it is open blood of the apple close system, without destroying the balance at the same time, continuing to this system to create fresh blood. And IDC recently published data seems to confirm this, in Android with iOS two system, APP developers interested in more of the latter. Maybe make the benign ecosystem, apple is indeed worth reference.

So it seems that we can say that, under the circumstances, in front of the iPad, Android if not a loser, the road to catch up with iPad is also very long.

8GB iPad 2 alongside 'iPad 3' on March 7?

DVD to iPad is dedicated to developing apps for Apple iOS devices.

Supply chain sources are claiming Apple will unveil a cheaper 8GB iPad 2 model alongside third-generation iPad models at its media event next week.

Taiwanese industry publication DigiTimes reported on Thursday that, according to sources within Apple's "upstream supply chain," the iPad maker will release the smaller capacity iPad 2 in order to cover a wider price range within the tablet market and fight off threats from upcoming Windows 8-based tablets.

Apple is also facing price pressure from below, as Amazon's $199 Kindle Fire tablet has attracted millions of customers. The company has, in the past, released lower capacity versions of its iPhone

Thursday's report was unclear, though, as it said Apple would release just two "iPad 3" sizes: a 16GB and 32GB version, without explaining if and why the company would abandon its current high-capacity 64GB iPad model.

The publication also claimed that Apple has been "aggressively placing orders" for the third-generation iPad, with first quarter shipments expected to double original estimates.

Apple confirmed on Tuesday via invitation earlier reports that had pegged March 7 as the date of the unveiling of the next-generation iPad. The event will take place at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, Calif., the site of the past two iPad releases.

The third-generation iPad is widely believed to include a Retina Display with a pixel density of 264 pixels per inch. Other expected upgrades include an improved camera, faster processor, and possibly 4G LTE data speeds.

iPad 3 with More Tapered Edge and an 8 Megapixel Back Camera?

By DVD to iPad, which is dedicated to developing apps for Apple iOS devices.s

NextMedia / Apple Daily claims to have received the following photos and information through "special channels". The photo below shows what is claimed to be an overview shot of the new iPad 3 back enclosure (top of image) as well as a comparison shot between the original iPad, the iPad 2 and the New iPad (inset).

High quality photos received through "special channels" by a Chinese publication allegedly show that the next generation iPad will sport a larger rear-facing camera than the current iPad 2, and will use a slightly redesigned case than previous models.


The shell should look familiar as it seems to be the same part we previously published. The lighting, however, is much better in this shot, and reveals the more subtle changes. There are notably no markings on the back of the case besides the Apple logo, itself.

The iPad 3 enclosure seems to have a more gradual taper to the edges than the iPad 2. The taper is seen better on the top overview photograph. As a result of this longer taper, the iPad 3's camera rests on the taper itself. We saw this before but due to the dark lighting of that image, the taper seemed more exaggerated.

The absolute positioning of the camera doesn't seem that far off from the iPad 2, but the lens does appear larger. According to NextMedia, the new iPad 3 camera will see a significant upgrade to 8 megapixels. The current iPad 2 back camera is 1 megapixel in resolution. The site also summarizes many of the other expectations for the iPad 3, such as an improved display, quad-core CPU, and a March 7th announcement date.

We've seen a rumor from the site only once before. They predicted new MacBooks, MacBook Pros and MacBook Air models back in April 5, 2010. The MacBook Pros (alone) did launch 8 days after that report, though some of the details (hard drive sizes) didn't match up to the report. Overall, the images here seem to match up to other parts that have been floating around China. Apple Daily is described, however, as a "tabloid-style" newspaper, but the Hong Kong edition is said to be quite popular as the second best selling publication.

Apple MacBook Air: The King of Ultra-Thin Notebook

Ultra-thin notebook is a new battlefield for all the pc producers. With no doubt for now, Apple MacBook Air is now the winner of this competition. Do you think it will still be the king of Ultra-thin notebook in the future. Read this article and you will find the answer.

A report from J.P. Morgan shows that the market of Ultra-thin notebook reserves big profit margins. Many producers, including Acer, HP and Sony, are getting involved in the field of Ultra-thin notebook. However, Apple's MacBook Air will still be the kind of Ultra-thin notebook for a very long time.

Although the competition of Ultra-thin notebook market is getting heating up day after day, but the cost of this kind of note book is still a big problem for producers. So far, most of the Ultra-thin notebook's price is more than $1000, only few of them is around $900. The price is still too high for most of the customers. In fact, MacBook Air's price is also expensive. According to the different models and configuration, its price is between $999 to $1599. Some analysts said, it receives much more attention than other competitors because its superiority in functions and specification and it comes out much earier than others. In contrast, other producer's Ultra-thin notebook are available in the market much later than MacBook Air and do not have superiority in functions and price. So it is really difficult for them to shake the market share of Apple MacBook Air.

Analysts also point out that, as MacBook Air's strong growth, in the next 12 months, its sales will reach over $7 billion, and sell 1.6 million for each quarter. If this come true, Apple will thank China's market. In the third quarter, MacBook's sale in China rise 339% than the same period of last year. And it will rise in the future.

For now, in the sales of MacBook Air around the world, USA and EMEA takes 73.9% and some new markets' share is rising constantly. Analyst said as the price is still high for most of the customers, now some new markets is not the main increase of MacBook Air's sales, but after the price is going lower, this will change. In addition, as iPhone and iPad is fast occupying the new market around the planet and Apple's affect will become a nice halo effect, Apple's system will be much more perfect than now. All the things above is a good news for the sales on MacBook Air.

Apple MacBook Air comes at the right time when people are getting tired with giant laptop. When you hear about it, you just fall in love with it without any hesitation. MacBook Air 2011 makes itself more fast and more powerful. 4GB of DDR3 memory is found on all but the base 11-inch model, which gets by with half that. SSDs are standard across the board, starting at 64GB for the 11 and going up to 256GB for the top-shelf 13-inch. Intel HD 3000 graphics power the lot and stock processors include 1.6GHz and 1.7GHz Core i5's, though a 1.8GHz Core i7 is available for $100 more. When it comes to displays nothing has changed: the 13-inch model features a 1440 x 900 glossy, LED-backlit panel while the 11 still does 1366 x 768. We spent our time testing the 13-inches and, as before, it continues to impress when it comes to contrast, brightness, and viewing angles, which are plenty wide enough to enable two-person, coach-class viewing of that latest episode of Top Gear. Contrast is helped by the glossy sheen here -- and no, you still can't option out a matte unit.
