PC Vendors may be Readying to Abandon Tablets
Bangalore: There are rumors that some tablet makers are going to give up the race because they are aware of their incompetence in the market with strong rivals like Apple iPad, Amazon Kindle Fire, and Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet.
DigiTimes reported that anonymous sources in the component supply chain are saying that HP, Acer, Asustek and Dell may give up on tablets next year. A big reason is that both Amazon and Barnes & Noble are bringing very inexpensive options to market, although even before those tablets hit the market HP, Acer and Dell hadn't been able to gain much market share.
We're surprised to see Asus on the list though, because the Transformer was the best selling Android tablet for a time. There is a slowdown in iPad demand and is proving that the tablet market as a whole is slowing down, but it is not sure that the PC market is the solution to that lag.
More likely, all of these devices are finding their niches (and all devices are niche devices now, even traditional laptops,) and the markets are settling. Some manufacturers are also waiting on Windows 8 before making a real run at the tablet game, because Windows 8 is expected to be something of a game-changer. Especially it is expected to offer the same apps across tablets and PCs.
