subject: The Global Sales Of Tablet Pc This Year Is Expected To Reach 51.9 Million Units [print this page] The Investment Report released today shows that the sales of the Tablet PC in the worldwide this year is expected to increase 13% to 51.9 million units.
The analyst believes that the sales of Apple iPad will account for more than 70% of the total tablet PC sales of this year. The Tablet PC equipped with Google's Android and other operating systems still can not compete with iPad.
The analyst said: "We are still waiting for the emergence of runner-up. Before Microsoft released Windows 8 in the second half of 2012, it is difficult to emerge a vendor that can compete against Apple."
Taking into account the weak performance of the rest of Tablet PC manufacturers, the analyst will cut the 2012 Tablet PC sales forecast 5% to 72.4 million units. He believes that if iPad still can not find a real opponent in the next year, its sales is expected to further increase.
Since this year, a number of manufacturers including Samsung, Motorola Mobile, RIM and HP have launched the Tablet PC that is equipped with Android 3.0 and other systems. Then, the performance of these products is not satisfactory. Among them, HP announced last month to give up webOS Tablet PC TouchPad. It significantly lowered prices to $ 99 to sell the inventory.
On the other hand, Amazon is expected to launch its first Tablet PC later this year. Many people believe that, with the strength in digital media and e-commerce, Amazon in this market. is expected to compete against Apple.
The analyst believes that Amazon is expected to become the rival of the iPad tablet PC. Although the operating system is still the Achilles' heel of the Amazon Tablet PC, the advantages of the company's brand, content and distribution channel, Apple is expected to have an impact on Apple's dominance in the Tablet PC market. Microsoft will release Windows 8 operating system in 2012.
The analyst believes that this is also the company's first system that targets both Tablet PC and the PC. There was news that Samsung plans to show a Tablet PC equipped with Windows 8 in the next week's Microsoft BUILD developer conference. It will be on sale officially in the September of the next year.
The analysts said they believe that smart phones and tablet PCs have suppressed the growth of PC sales. In addition to erosion, these devices also cause consumers to postpone buying a new PC.
