We don't have many mobile device fans here, but I am actually amazed by the rising tablet market.
Today morning I read an article in a newspaper that Google is bringing its own tablet to challenge Kindle Fire. The article mainly showed that first it was only an ipad market and now it is a tablet market.

I am surprised by how ipad holds 65% share in this market and second place is Kindle Fire and followed by rest, my question is how Asus which has such nice transformer tablets, is nowhere near ipad even though it looks and performs the almost the same.

I think it is a rise of tablets and this makes me research on it more and more.
 
Well for one, I haven't see one Asus advertisment on TV. Apple advertise all their products on TV. If Asus were to do that then I think their sales would increase.
 
Yea Apple advertises a lot and thos ads are impressive too. But I think that is only for normal users. Advance users do not need ads :P

Truth but advance users only make up a small percentage if users, so for these companies to be profitable they need to appeal to the end users.
 
For me, a tablet is really only useful when it includes some sort of attachable keyboard. The Asus Transformer series has this feature, but the Android OS itself is still not really built for high-speed productivity. I'm personally hoping that the Microsoft Surface is as good as it seems; if so, it should fill a huge market gap.

I guess so but then again, a very small percent of users are advanced.
 
Yeah, saw the nexus. Awesome tablet for the price, now I want one. The kndle fire is pretty suckish in my opinion, the nexus, I have a felling, will be much better for devolping a OS for.
 
Honestly, I just want one to play around with and take to class/trips. My laptop is way to heavy for actually using as a portable computer on short trips, so this should fit that need nicely. Would be nice to just lay around the house with and play games too i suppose.
 
Oh just watched a review of the Nexus, the Tegra 3 would make it run anything, I wish the resolution was as high as the Infinity and iPad3.
Probably it only wanted to challenge the Kindle Fire.
 
The Tablet market is getting more and more saturated, Microsoft, Apple, Google Amazon and more. Not long from now there will be that many tablets running Windows, Android and iOS it will be like today's OEM Desktop Manufactures.

Am actually looking at the Nexus now seeing the competition grow so much. Do needed a tablet in college, looking at transformer too because of the keypad.
