Previously, RIM had launched the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet computer, however, did not achieve the desired results. Blackberry mobile computing sector executive vice president David Smith (David J. Smith), revealed this week in an interview with the Wall Street Journal reporter, the new BlackBerry Tablet PC R & D work has been put on the agenda of the RIM. The above remarks more kindled looking forward to return to the Tablet PC market for BlackBerry.

But RIM also admitted to once again enter the Tablet PC market future is full of challenges. Smith also noted that RIM has enough experience and lessons learned lessons from the process before PlayBook listedI believe that RIM Not long before the formal launch of the latest BlackBerry 10 operating system, the launch of new mobile devices is also reasonable thing this. Throughout the global tablet PC market, Apple's iPad sales have already reached one million, Amazon and Samsung's sales into the million club, but the market is still flowing to other vendors and products enough production space.
Blackberry itself has a comprehensive set of technologies and products "package", but a single from that point to start its unlikely spoils in the tablet market. I believe that RIM needs to introduce innovative products, or in some real sense to launch low-cost products to enhance the influence and sales.
10 at the end of last year, 7.9 inches Tablet PC iPad mini advent of small stature, seems to imply Apple's attitude - 7-9 inches of the small size tablet, more popular than the 9.7 or 10.1-inch Tablet PC. Attractive price, is a big selling point of the mini-tablet; rather be able to control with one hand, but also to make sure that these products deeply rooted. Last month, the Monthly TFT LCD shipments database report, the first month of 2013, Tablet PC shipments of products to the small screen tilt.TFT LCD data display, 9.7-inch Tablet PC shipments decline sharply from 7.4 million units to 130 million; over the same period, 7-inch, 7.9-inch tablet shipments, achieve rapid growth, from 1.2 million to upgrade 10.1-inch tablet PC shipments growth increased slightly to 1.4 million;
Tablet PC shipments in the January 2013 data, can be regarded as an indicator of the whole year igogo tablet android and also shows the change in the structure of Apple products. In December of last year, Apple had planned and sold 400 million units iPad mini in 2013 and 600 million units iPad. However, in the present situation, the actual situation appears to be reversed, because the iPad mini is more popular than the iPad. Now, Apple may be planning in 2013, sold 5.5 million units iPad mini, and 3.3 million iPads. The same time, Samsung, Google (microblogging), Amazon, Asus, Acer and other companies are eyeing the small size of the tablet PC market is gradually warming up, hoping to snatch more market share; many cottage manufacturers also began to expand the Mini the production of a flat plate.
Monthly the global FPD shipping and prospects report, analysts predict that the 2013 Tablet PC shipments are expected to reach 25.4 million units, far more than 16 million in 2012. And 5-8 inches tablet sales will reach 13.6 million units; 9-10 inches Tablet PC sales will account for 11.8 million units. This means that the small size of the Tablet PC sales will be more than the traditional 9-10 inches tablet.
However, the rapid growth of 7-9 inches Tablet PC at the same time, there are some key issues:
- 5-6 inches smartphone 7.x-inch Tablet PC sales impact? With the development of the smart phone screen start to 5-6 inches, flat phone is also likely to erode the 7-inch tablet computer market.
- 7.85 inches Tablet PC is the next revolution, UXGA (resolution up to 1920 × 1200, more than 250ppi), QXGA (resolution up to 2048 × 1536, more than 300 ppi)? Apple has been leading the trend of ultra-high resolution, is bound to stimulate the competitors change their product plans.
- Many panel manufacturers in the development of the 7-inch resolution 1920 × 1200, or even 8.9 inches 1920 × 1200 or 2048 × 1536, up to 300ppi display. However, this is bound to give the panel supply brought no small challenge. 7-9 inches of the screen, to achieve such a high resolution, with the choice of three techniques: a-Si, LTPS, and oxide. Each panel manufacturers will have different strategies, which will also become mainstream it?
- IPad mini ultra-narrow bezel and slim design with great popularity, which has also become an important indicator of the Tablet PC market. Some panel manufacturers integrated into the IC LTPS is the only way to achieve a narrow border; while other manufacturers, LTPS is the only way to narrow border QXGA reach 330ppi. However, the yield and the high investment costs of LTPS still so many people draw a big question mark on this technology.
- Until now, 7-9 inches Tablet PC selling, mainly because of relatively low price. But such a strategy igogo tablet baratas to establish a brand, not a long-term solution. Function as resolution enhancement, upgrade, product design optimization, 7-9 inches Tablet PC can achieve a higher position? Whether the target buyers will pay for higher-priced high-end mini-tablet?
