IPad syndrome: Motorola to fall into the trap with Xoom

When the original iPhone was released, Apple was ahead of a new world to discover. And he did pretty well. Applications and operating systems for mobile have not been the same since. With the IPAD, everything was different. They were practically the who started it all and only last year with his highly meritorious Samsung Galaxy Tab stood him up.

This year, the tablet version of Android now ready to start running, the month of February marked the coming-of most well-endowed rivals. But a lot of fear (mixed with respect) should have the manufacturers in the world of Apple tablet, because the recent moves make it clear that they are rather the expectation in some cases.

Submit a month ago a new tablet and announce a change in design after seeing what Apple had done with his iPad 2 is not coincidence. Yesterday we live a moment without a doubt that the Asian company has cost them live (though they themselves admitted that with the release of new Apple tablet had to give a ride to their new model), it denotes lag behind.

For starters, Samsung should not be clear which format is most interested tablet. With the 8.9 inch model yesterday (size seems the most perfect of all), have covered all possible fronts. Seems not at all a bad thing, because having more choice is always beneficial. But yesterday, we can see how Samsung admitted that not only have applications or power in the market for tablets.

Apple's obsession to make yours thinner is taking its toll and they have had to retreat and present engineering in an emergency exercise, a new model of its 10.1-inch tablet last February, which will move into the thick digits Apple's latest. Apple is leading the way forward in the tablet world, and it appears that calls to be competing brands do not seem prepared to hit a first and wait for the response of Cupertino.

Quite the reverse. Not even in the price, which was where many expected that competition iPad wrong to leave the block, no war for now. The fact is that Motorola, which until recently boasted of his Xoom as a treasure, may also be required to present a new model for the second half of this year.

Yes, this year. According to Digitimes, the reduction of units to be manufactured by Motorola of Xoom to June would mark the end of this model and from the second quarter, Xoom renewed offer that would reflect the trends identified in the first quarter. And where is the consumer? As in pretty bad place.

Ahead to choose a tablet that moved with the market, one does not know if renewed within a few days, months or never. You know, the adventure of being "early adopter".
