The analysis says the mini plate is gradually becoming the trend 5 to 7 inches into the mainstream

Lead: Matt Burns, a well-known us it commentator, wrote today that as the ipad Matt Burns in the 10-inch tablet market, other manufacturers will look at smaller mini panels and create a trend. The following is a summary of the article: Over the past 3 days, we have seen three attractive "tablets", namely, the Samsung note, the 7.7-inch Galaxy Tab and the legendary new iphone. Although two of these products may not be able to land in the US market or even be exhibited at the German International Consumer Electronics Show in Berlin, a new trend is clearly emerging. In a few months, I bet the new 5 to 7-inch tablet/Phone we see in the market will be more than 10 inches. Why does the screen shrink?　　Who buys a "mini flat" that is similar to a cell phone? First, this trend is not new.　　As early as HTC HD2 was launched, many Android phone makers were hoping to develop handsets similar to widescreen media players. A few years ago, LG, Samsung and Apple hardware designers adopted a color called Piano black. All electronic products use piano black, including mobile phones, digital cameras, televisions and DVD players.　　Although there are many colors to choose from, but the plastic shell like the iphone 3G is still rage. Now, the same thing happens again, but the situation is different. First, the 10-inch tablet has been dominated by Apple, which is hard to contend with. Consumers are also looking for new products. They have begun to tire of 10-inch tablets and, more importantly, 10-inch products that could infringe Apple's patents.　　In addition, a 10-inch screen is still harder to produce, and smaller tablets cost less. But the size of the hardware often changes, depending on trends, manufacturing capabilities and the ideas of designers. Whether consumers will choose larger or smaller devices depends on their preferences and quality. But manufacturers will still try to cater to users ' preferences and reduce costs, providing them with devices that can actually be put into their pockets until a new generation of devices is born.
