Few analysts have the gut feeling that the OEM –business models seems to have broken down as both Google and Microsoft have broken ties with their earlier OEM partners. With Apple creating a monopoly market for its iPad’s, probably Microsoft and Google might have thought to give it a go with the hope to beat its monarchy in this industry. It seems that these IT giants have decided to produce its own tablets to drive out the producers of PCs for making better and much more competitive tablets.
Targeted for the movers and shakers of the society and for those tech geeks out there, these Tablet PCs released by the big guns, Apple, Google and Microsoft, are consistently trying to surpass each other by constantly updating the features and characteristics of their newly introduced tablet PCs. Comparisons between these products are common, but here we would deal with the features of these products individually so that you yourself can judge which stands better rather than getting biased upon the writer's judgment.
Apple's iPad: With the launch of the all new iPad by Apple, a brief sneak peek into its features. So are you all set to know more about this Apple iPad?
This iPad provides you almost everything, starting from entertainment to games, from videos to music, from books to recent news, all here at your fingertips. Though even an iPod could do all these functions, but with a screen dimension of 9.7", ½" thin, weighing 1.5 lbs. This is a real mini wonder for all you tech geeks. Furthermore, its price is quite attractive than anyone has ever though off. With a price tag of just $499 for the lower end model, it a real dream comes true for all. The data planprovided by it is also great and is an ideal option for all the net book users where you get to avail various kinds of choices. Apart from all this, this iPad gives much more space for the user to use one's hands than using the mouse for the same. But the monopoly ruler is not devoid of flaws as with this mini wonder, you really cannot afford to perform any multi-tasking options though there are several productive applications present in the same. With all the latest application present, it still fails to work as efficiently as a computer would do. Next it has no webcamfacility and the iTunes application has several restrictions which does not support many kind music formats.
It has been seen that more than forty percent of the apple owners prefer to buy the Apple iPad. The data also reveals figures which states more than 80% apple owners, 80% of individuals with income more than $90,000 and more than 75% of adults in age group 18 to 34 are interested in buying this Apple iPad.
Google Nexus: Since Google announced its Google Nexus, hard to define it in one word as a smart phone or super phone, the review for the same ismixed. With all the new Google Nexus, you can now tweet as well as text even when you are driving with the presence of a voice recognitionfacility, but again in contrast to the rumors which had come out, this phone cannot be defined as a VoIP data phone revolution. This is very much like the other phones in terms of making phone calls, suppressingthe expectations that the users had form its reviews.
Though Nexus uses the Android 2.1 version giving various kinds of 3D features, but it has been seen that this nexus one's superior software features are just fleeting in nature. One of the best features of this is that you can get this Google Nexus unlocked though it is quite pricey in nature. As we have seen that Google Nexus is not devoid of flaws as already discussed. To add to the same tally is the absence of the multi-touch facility. Though the hardware of the phone is able to support multi touch facility, the software does not support the same. Moreover, the music player of nexus is still not as superior in its features as it had been thought to be, but with the presence of the in-built Google voice, there is much to be seen in this tech gadget as well.
With its latest tech gadgets, Google aims to target those price conscious consumers who love to use latest tech gadgets but keep away from them as they are pricey.
Microsoft Surface: In the boxing ring, Microsoft is all set to face the challenge it has before it to compete its rivals Apple, the till date monopoly ruler in the tablet PC market, and the new face, Google, Microsoft has a tough task in hand! It seems that Microsoft Surface tablet strikes a great balance between work as well as play, but it has a long way to go to impress the iPad users.
The keyboard that is present within the cover is an ideal trick making it an attractive platform differentiating it from the others. This is an ideal option for business entrepreneurs. With the option for the user to choose one between the two, is clearly a tablet of choice! With the presence of an Intel Processor, it can easily eliminate the compatibility issues. Furthermore, it's this tech wonder also has a competitive price (which actually Microsoft had to keep as it is not a monopoly ruler in this market). The best of this iPad is that, it competes as an underdog. Had it done as an iPad-crusher, then it was sure to fail in this market. Apart from all these, it has been successful in getting its balance right, but again it is not devoid of flaws. With the absence of cellular-connectivity, and a small screen, Surface is not very great to impress its users. With its limited storage options available and with, the capability of solving only some of the Windows problems, there is much that needs to be thought of the same.
It’s no doubt that the presence of substitute elements would reduce the share that a monopoly product was getting, Hence with Microsoft and Google in the battlefield, it is for sure that there is going to some migration of the prospective Apple iPad users to either Microsoft or Google. Thus Apple’s market is sure to suffer, but what remains to be seen is who wins the race. Over to your judgment folks!
