Apple sent an invitation to the relevant media Come visit our latest creation.We should not disappoint again this time. It's time for Apple's tablet to come out, and if it's going to be a tablet, what it's like, people who say they know are basically unaware.
We call it "iTablet", let me guess the characteristics of ITablet:
Itablet and Netbooks
First of all, Itablet will not be your "only one" computer, he should be his other computer. Someone's going to say, "You're talking nonsense, of course it will be." But I would like to say that the netbook market war for a long time, to see the market effect can say "very bad", the reason is what? Chip makers think "netbooks will be the second computer for users", so they are willing to give up higher profits here; hardware makers also believe that "netbooks will be the second computer for users", so they are willing to give up higher profits here.
Unfortunately, they all made a stupid mistake: they did not process the OS and did not refine the "second computer" requirement. The "netbook" they make is no different than the quality and performance of a typical laptop, with apps and laptops. Their users naturally regard netbooks as "the only Computer", and as a result, they are not only on netbooks, they are less profitable, and even the profits of the platform notebooks are shifted away. So, they can only.
Of course, this is also related to the consumption and consumption capacity of the mainstream consumer group of inferior netbook.
I don't think Apple will make such a mistake. Itablet will even deliberately do some compared to the MacBook "imperfect", will be satisfied with the "second" computer based on the basic needs of the intentional "imperfect", to do everything possible to "prevent" it becomes your "only one computer." So, let's not expect a itablet to replace your MacBook and imac.
Itablet and ipods
Also because of the need to repeat the business rationale for consumption, as well as two of product positioning problems, Itablet will not replace your ipod. So let's not expect Itablet to replace your ipod.
Itablet and E-books
Forget who said an idea "e-books will be as outdated as business", and I totally agree that at least the current ebook will. However, E-books should not be as bad as business, because his narrow market is still there, for example, the chairman of my house still needs a Kindle.
But the future of e-books is difficult to have large market size. The reason is simple, look at the core advantages of our ebook now:
1, Standby time is very long.
2, light and small, easy to use.
3, cheap.
Based on this, I think Itablet will be a good challenge to the e-book market. Carve out the most middle crowd.
1, Standby time problem, is looking forward to Itablet can be satisfied, even if it does less than more than 10 days, as long as can do more than 10 hours, basically enough to meet the needs of the public.
2, light small, convenient problem, Itablet very likely will meet, at least can do almost. As long as he is not too big, he can meet the basic needs of the public.
3, the price question. The iphone was more expensive than many phones, but it was worth the price.
So.
Itablet will be the last performance we don't know, but it's worth looking forward to. Of course, I'd rather expect Google to make his tablet as soon as possible, based on Internet apps. At present, it seems that only Google and Apple users have the highest overlap, two companies can compete, only the benefits, no matter to whom.
Well, I'm a double fan of Google and Apple and want to see them fight.
