Battle of the tablet reaches companies

According to Apple, 80% of the 500 companies leading the list of Fortune used iPad. In fact, the tablet and is seen by market analysts as a computer, which has positioned Apple as the third largest manufacturer of these devices when included in the statistics to the tablet. Microsoft, which does not yet have an alternative in the market for tablets, has distributed a PowerPoint commercial customers between departments in which he argues the benefits of the computer, Windows, compared to business use iPad.

Among the arguments include the security of the data to the easier loss of a tablet. In November, Gartner reduced the growth of PC market this year from 18.1 to 15.9%. In fact, most of the manufacturers of computers and smartphones, with Nokia execpt have their own alternative tablet this year and depending on its penetration in companies with these teams may have more or fewer opportunities to introduce your model tablet.

For now, the emergence of different tablets had no effect on prices. The LG, in 3D, will be sold without operating subsidy, more than 900 euros in Germany. Motorola will sell its higher-end Xoom in the United States about $ 800. IPad tablet higher end costs 793 euros. However, analysts believe the sector of the tablets, particularly those equipped with Android, which does not have an operating system that differentiates itself as HP, Apple and Blackberry, will join the price war if they want to be singled out.

Operators can play an important role in the decline of these prices with the grant of certain devices, but they will not all. Orange has announced its own tablet considered weak markets, such as Spain (apart from Romania, Poland and Slovakia). Made by China's Huawei and Android 2.1 and seven-inch screen will be linked to a two-year contract for a monthly fee of 39 euros.

That does not preclude the market operator other higher-end tablets as the iPad or Samsung Galaxy Tab. In this way the company aims "to reach all audiences."
