American science and technology information website PCWorld writer Tony Bradley (Tony Bradley) recently published the article says, the 2012 "consumer electronics show" (hereinafter referred to as "CES") open screen draws near, believe that when will have many 2012 new tablet PC manufacturers show their products, to the apple iPad to challenge the dominant position. This is their iPad challenge for the third year in a row of hegemonic position, next year but there may be some product really get into the line of sight of people, to break iPad monopoly situation.

The following is the article content abstract:

At present manufacturers have released, or how much on display in CES of tablet computer has been difficult to keep in mind, in short a few. But in the tablet computer on display at CES, real concept into products from the very few. And, in the already listed products, real a threat to the apple iPad is rare.

At present, the global market basically iPad tablet computer by led. Recent reports, and so far this year, the iPad tablet computer sales amounted to only 100 of more than. In contrast, the iPad sales in the first quarter, more than 11 million department.

Need to point out that the iPad in computer, is in the lead of the TouchPad is HP. Ironically, the TouchPad initial sales is not good, then HP decided to exit the business, and the price of TouchPad fell to $99, then trigger panic buying.

As for RIM Play Book also is poor performance, RIM had said earlier this month, the PlayBook due to poor performance of its inventory valuation of $485 million, so will not be able to achieve fiscal year 2011 annual performance goals. RIM initially fiscal 2011 diluted earnings per share all year will reach us $5.25 to $6.

In contrast, amazon Kindle Fire $200 of performance is satisfactory, appear on the market the first week after more than 1 million handsets are sold, but still not "iPad killer". In addition, asus Transformer Prime, samsung Galaxy Tab and MOTOROLA XOOM also have certain competitive power.

In the next year on display at CES the tablet computer, may still have many see the sun, in the listed products, failure may still than success. But no matter what, 2012 seems to be the real "tablet computer years", and is no longer the iPad monopoly.
