Ever since Ubuntu announced its intention to launch a new system in the mobile field, all sorts of espionage have been widespread. Because the current tablet market is "three-pronged", fresh blood is urgently needed to protect your youth. Ubuntu released a new flat system at this time. If it is a special phrase, it will definitely represent its situation-"Challenges and opportunities coexist "!

I. Challenges

1. Spoon

Apple is a single tablet computer. With its open system permissions and a solid OEM Foundation on mobile phones, Android tablets have also performed well. It seems that the Windows 8 tablet in the Microsoft camp represents its own Surface, and its sales performance is not satisfactory. To turn over to the host, you still need to work hard. Ubuntu now comes in to split up, the difficulty is conceivable.

2. Cognition

For Apple, Android, and Microsoft tablet consumers, the process of starting to recognize tablets almost begins with the premise of mobile phones. Continuing to explore the history, these products have almost all evolved from computers. IOS, Android, and windows 8 are from Linux, while Ubuntu is from Linux, which is less attractive to consumers. Birthdate is a historical issue and irreversible.

3. OEM

The launch of any product requires "physical", and to expand the physical impact, some OEM manufacturers need to produce hardware platforms suitable for this product. The OEM produces a product to make money. if the product is not profitable, it will soon be squeezed out of the production line.

2. Opportunities

1. Novelty

Currently, only three tablet systems are available for ios, Android, and Windows 8. The launch of the Ubuntu tablet system undoubtedly injects new vigor into the boring System of the tablet.

2. Diversity

The lifecycle of electronic products is getting faster and faster, and there will be new products in almost a few months. The three tablet systems also cause headaches for OEMs. IOS is not open and cannot be done. Windows 8 is copyrighted, high cost; Secondary Development of Android is difficult to innovate; the Ubuntu tablet system opens a window of choice for OEMs to promote the diversified development of products.

3. Pricing

If the price is relatively high, the price/performance ratio is impossible. The current price of ipad 416G is 3688 yuan, and the price of most Android 16G and 10-inch tablets is less than 1500, microsoft Surface32G starts from 3688 yuan. It is not hard to see that the Ubuntu system tablet can only go through the middle-end market. That is to say, the 16g system is priced at 2000-2500, And the configuration is more reliable. Otherwise, Ubuntu cannot escape the fate of "name survival.
