Ten Devices Set to rival the iPad 2

[ipadbraincell]

From the marketing of the first ipods by making them personal, Apple has a niche in the market no one will ever dominate. The siloughette of the impersonal person dancing with their iPod resonated with the average consumer in a way not seen before, except in KFC ads promising mom a Sunday off from cooking for the family, or since

That's bang on the nail, 'Hoover' is commonly linked to describe any make of vacuum cleaner - even dyson lol!

Really clever Apple with iPod, was to emphasise on the headphone lead seemingly to dance with the manikin..

Touchpad did incredibly well...

I think apple has this tablet Market dominated and will continue to for the foreseeable future.

20million shipments expected for Q3... Tablet life can't get much better for apple!

I think that was simply a function of the price drop sell off. You can't really say it was competition for the iPad.

Yeah I said the touchpad did well sarcastically! Shame though, webos is a decent os.

Apple won't have any decent rivals for a long time yet!

I would like to see Amazon's offering as they are projecting shipments of 5 million in the 4th quarter......

Do you know how many Kindles they sold last year? 8m.

They project 17m Kindles this year, in part because they plan to drop the price to $99 for Christmas sales for the entry level model.

I would think that any Amazon tablet would steal market share from high end Kindle sales in the quarter, rather than open up new markets to them.

The top priced Kindle sells for $379 today...

I think the ipad's edge will be the appstore. I mean it has the largest and most reliable source of applications. Unless other tablets has a wide range of appstore, they can rival the ipad.

I doubt that the bulk of Amazon tablet sales would come from people who otherwise buy a Kindle, even a high-end one. There are plenty of people who want tablets, especially cheaper ones than iPads, who have zero interest in a Kindle or any e-reader. Most people who'd buy an Amazon tablet would buy them for other content -- apps, Web surfing, games, videos and music, not books. Most people don't read books, but they consume lots of other content. Those would be an Amazon target market, and that would certainly be a new hardware market for Amazon.

I liked my Kindle plenty, but it's basically good for only books (and even then mostly fiction, because the image display is limited). And the Web surfing ability of a Kindle is stunted, good only in a pinch and then only because it's free.

Ultimately we will see what the sales numbers show, but I'm betting that these sales cannibalize Kindle sales first and foremost. Amazon is still seen as a book seller by a huge segment of the market, and not a computing hardware supplier.

Amazon is one of the top e-commerce sites in the world because it sells everything under the sun. The impression you describe is an outdated one, and I doubt that anyone who's an Amazon customer clings to that.
