Tablets That Could Take Down the iPad
Nice to see some of the tablets can compete with IPAD
The new tablet looks good, but I wonder if all this leverage iPad sales because of its brand name. Kind of like when the iPod came out, people would want to buy an iPod and have an iPod headset as oppose to other brand's iPod lookalike.
Should all these companies continue to try to catch up with "me too" products, or better off investing in R&D in the next thing?
ReplyDeleteOne thing to note is that,it is not easy to innovate or try to figure out what is the next big thing. It is always easy to imitate.

ReplyDeleteIt all comes down to price of this new devices, if this new devices are 20 to 30% cheaper than iPAD people will go for that.
