Your death, vita mea. The death of the PC, life for the iPad. When you read the data on sales of electronic products in the United States and elsewhere, it seems that personal computers are intended to sunset, while it seems to dawn light for the tablets of Apple (and other manufacturers, as we shall see).
In the first three months of 2011, worldwide PC sales were down by 1, 1% from last year. Industry experts had hoped instead to grow by 3%. In the U.S., the negative figure is even more pronounced reduction of the PC market was 6.1%. The phenomenon seems linked to the "fever for the tablet, the tablets increasingly common in metropolitan New York, where they are taking the place of newspapers, and offices in Manhattan, where they could replace computers, especially laptops.
Practical and easy to handle, the tablet is used in many ways: to read books and documents to read and send e-mail, to keep up. The experts from Gartner, one of the most authoritative analysis of the technology sector, argue that products such as iPad could really replace the personal computer.
Among the companies that produce laptops, the most affected are Hewlett-Packard (-3.4%), Dell (-2.2%), and especially Acer (-12.2%), which had launched a very portable small, barefoot, according to retailers, the new product of Steve Jobs (which is touchscreen but can also be connected to a keyboard, just like a tiny computer).
There 's been going against Toshiba, which recorded a growth of 10% (the Japanese, however, produces liquid crystal displays used on the iPhone and iPad). Apple, of course, goes up: the growth rate was 18.9%. It is expected that this year will be sold worldwide, 48 million iPad. Faced with the rosy forecasts of the house of Cupertino, other companies want a slice of the pie.
These days we are trying the Rim (Reserch in Motion), the maker of the Blackberry, which has submitted playbook, dell'iPad antagonist. The prices are the same competitor: $ 499 for the 16-gigabyte version, 599 for the 32 and 699 for one to 64. The differences with the crown jewel of Apple, however, there are.
For the time being, of course, are very few applications on the Playbook: The developers have promised to the Rim 3 000, while competition it already has 65 000, especially designed for the "bar of Steve." The screen size, then, are different: 18 cm diagonally to the Playbook, compared with 28 dell'iPad (or 7 inches against 11).
The jewel of Apple is often used for watching movies, even while traveling. The tablet of the Blackberry, of course, can do the same thing, but the image will be smaller. It must be said, however, that the product supports the Rim of the video and Adobe Flash (sull'iPad that do not work).
Playbook also can be connected through an HDMI port, a much larger screens, to the delight of those who love video games like Need for Speed and b, pre-installed on the tablet Rim. Rim of the tablet, however, does not want to be "toys" or "family" as the Apple iPad. The slogan that has spoken of "the world's first tablet designed to a professional level" are key words to understand what product it is.
The Blackberry is the mobile phone company by definition. Consequently, the Playbook would be the tablet of the business world. Among the applications available, one can work on documents created with Word, Excel, Power Point, the most popular programs used in offices. The HDMI port on the other hand, can be used for presentations so beloved in the Wall Street firms, or the City of London.
Then there is the compatibility with the Blackberry: contacts and calendar synchronized on the tablet of the smartphone business. The playbook does not have 3G connectivity dell'iPad (to download data over a telephone network), but it can connect to a Blackberry mobile phone and connect to the Internet through this (the chain of links is called tethering).
In short, it is likely that those who already have a Blackberry can bet the purchase of the tablet of the same "family", just like an iPhone owner is forced to remain loyal to the brand, buying an iPad.
