Samsung is creating a device that is similar to the ipad. It will be seven inches, and could be used like a phone to call people. Samsung is going to sell this devise between $200 to $300 dollars. It first is looking for a carrier in most of the countries. Samsung wants to make this devise not large, because they want it to be very portable. It could fit in a jacket’s pockets. A big advantage of the devise is that it supports adobe.
This will defiantly raise the telecommunication industry in this world. Especially when it is released which they are saying at October. Ipad finally will not be monopoly and will actually have competition. Samsun has some features that the ipad was missing. One example is capable of calling with the Samsung devise. Another example is using adobe; in the other hand Ipad you cant use adobe. Also, Samsung device is a lot smaller than the Ipad. So, both companies will compete on prices and this is how the telecommunication industry will work.

Toshiba is also planning to release a similar product. It is called the Folio 100 and will be 10.1 inches long with an embedded webcam. Similar to the Samsung Galaxy, the Folio 100 will, unlike the I-pad, support Adobe Flash. These tablet devices, although fairly new, are attracting a lot of consumer and corporate attention. If this trend continues, I think tablet devices like the I-pad will become just as popular as cell phones and laptops.

Almost three million ipad had been selled since its introductin to the market , five months ago. AT&T Inc.’s emerging devices president, who manages the relationship with Apple says that tablet computer might make laptops obsolete.
ReplyDeleteTablet computers are just in their first stages of development, but it should not take that long for them to be able to run as full computers. A recent report shows that “Starting in 2012, tablets will outsell netbooks, and by 2014, more consumers will use tablets than will use netbooks,”. So in other words tablets are becoming the favorite tool for being connected.
This new competition that laptops and the IT industry in general, have adquired, presents serious threat to their market. The telecommunication industry, as evidence suggests, will have an outstanding place in the market.
