What is the difference between the Android tablet and the iPad?

One year after the launch of the iPad, manufacturers with confidence in Android tablets began to gradually lose confidence. The sales of Moto Zoom were not good. Samsung Galaxy Tab is not so much a tablet as a big mobile phone, ASUS and HTC have postponed the release of their Android tablets. It is said that Google has enough time to catch up after one year of iPad launch, but the reality has proved that this is not the case.

IPad leads android in many ways. The most obvious difference is that Apple leads too much in the standby time, and the iPad has at least 90% battery capacity in a week, most Android tablets are estimated to have been exhausted. This may be the advantage of integrated software and hardware design. It seems that there is still a long way to go to catch up with the iPad.

The standby time can reflect Jobs' wisdom. It can also be seen from the aspect that Jobs' definition of tablet computers is more inclined to computers than that of other laptops, in addition to the better appearance and structure design, MacBook Air is the difference in the standby time. If the smartphone is charged every day, it can still be tolerated. If the tablet is filled every day, it will make consumers crazy, now it seems that Google defined the Android tablet as a big smartphone, rather than people's judgment on the iPad at the beginning.

In fact, the difference between the Android tablet and the iPad is not big in terms of the time of use alone. The iPad can be used normally for 10 hours, and the Android tablet can be used for 5-8 hours even if it is not enough, on the one hand, consumers do not want a tablet to be recharged every day, and on the other hand, they want the tablet to be used as needed. This has become the biggest advantage for iPad and Android tablets.

Some people blame android3.0 for being unfavorable to Android tablets, while android2.3 is not designed for tablets. For example, when Acer launched tablets a few days ago, it was deemed that the current release of tablets was at the right time, however, we didn't see that the zoom of Moto was also sold badly Based on Android 3.0. The reason why jobs' philosophy was realized came from the Integrated turnkey model of processors, software, and machine, google is just an OS provider. It is recently reported that Google is working with arm to launch a standard processor.

Now it seems that Google is not difficult to solve this problem in the short term. As a tablet computer manufacturer, how can we compete with Apple iPad in such a bad market? In fact, many local manufacturers in mainland China have begun to give answers. For example, Eman Eben focuses on handwriting to solve some consumer input problems, smart devices focus on reading e-books or magazines to better meet the special needs of PDF or magazine readers. Lenovo optimized its browser on Android to make it easier for Chinese consumers to enjoy online videos, the solution providers represented by ruixinwei, junzheng, and yingfanwei will focus on greatly reducing BOM costs to meet the needs of low-end and Middle-end consumers, these differences make up for system deficiencies to meet the market positioning of specific consumers. We believe they will be quite effective for a long time in the future. (Old Region)
