She said, and Android tablet PC pricing is in the same range as the iPad, but the brand varies. The Amazon Kindle Fire and Barnes & Noble (Barnes & Noble) Nook tablet PCs may compete for market position because, although these two products are based on Android developers, they don't use the brand name and are priced lower. According to Forrester Research, last September before the Amazon Kindle Fire was released, about 24 percent of respondents expressed their willingness to buy the Amazon tablet PC, 61% were willing to buy the iPad, and 21% were willing to buy the Samsung tablet PC.
Forrester Research analyst Sarah Ruttmann Epps mentioned that Samsung (microblogging), Sony, and Toshiba are working hard to improve their products but haven't been able to launch sufficient services to increase their market share. Epps, in a media interview, said: "In the research survey conducted last September, Hewlett-Packard (microblogging) ranked second in the market with a 6% share, followed by Samsung, Motorola Mobility, and macro (microblogging) with shares of 5%, 4%, and 3% respectively." It should be emphasized that HP's $99 super cheap clearance sale of the TouchPad tablet PC has now been discontinued.
According to informed sources in January, a new generation of Apple's iPad is expected to feature a high-definition screen and faster processor, and will be compatible with the next-generation wireless network. Ding Hong reported from San Francisco at 6 pm on March 6 that U.S. market research firm Forrester Research released its latest report today, indicating that Apple accounts for 73% of the global tablet PC market share, while its Android competitors' share does not exceed 5%. This market growth surpasses our expectations, exceeding everyone’s expectations. Most of the current iPads still hold the world’s tablet PC market share. Forrester Research expects that by 2016, two-thirds of American adults will own a tablet PC, which will also increase the use of such equipment in workplaces. The majority of tablet PCs used for work are purchased by employees themselves.
