| Event Details:
Sohu IT News] [September 22 Beijing time, according to foreign media reports, the American IT magazine "eWeek" Web site today issued a document for external news that Apple will launch a smaller 7-inch iPad tablet rumors, saying that if Apple launch of this product, then it will be very bad move. The article points out, Apple introduced before the 7-inch iPad, should think twice. The article reads as follows: There have been rumors that Apple may introduce a small 7-inch iPad tablet PCs, and even more reports that Apple will be those who want to save money to launch a mini-Tablet PC users, but also has powerful features. The report also led to industry speculation that Apple will launch a new or small to carry a tablet computer may (or two) cameras, to provide consumers with more features. Needless to say, this news may make Apple fans very excited, but the reality is that Apple is now no need to introduce more small iPad tablet PC, the reason why no launch, mainly based in the following 10 reasons: 1, the current iPad in good working order The current iPad is a good product, almost able to meet consumer desires, consumers will enjoy more features, and provides the user similar to the iPhone experience. Perhaps more importantly, this product can become a user to work or commute a reliable partner. Therefore, Apple is now no need Tuichu a Wei new small iPad, in order to compensate the consumer space, inadequate, in fact, Apple's iPad is very good, has been able to fill the shortage. 2, there is still room for improvement For now the iPad, Apple still needs to solve some problems. One of them is "multi-task", this feature was once seen as the iPad one of the most feature should be installed, multi-task at present will not soon landing iPad. In addition, the current 9.7-inch iPad need one or two cameras. If Apple can before the upcoming holidays, the product down the price, it better. All in all, the current iPad still some room for improvement, so Apple should focus on the current model and make improvements, and no longer need to introduce new iPad. 3, the threat of competition has not yet come Most Tablet PC of course will lead to competition concerns about Apple, but this still has not reached the current competitive threat. Therefore, Apple does not need to rush the current shot, we can consider at a future time to re-introduce the 7-inch iPad. 4, do not launch when a small iPad Some people may think, iPad need to take the small road, in order to attract the market. But in the current circumstances, this view is not correct. In view of the iPad better sales, consumers seem more willing to buy Apple's 9.7-inch iPad. From the current market, Dell 5-inch Dell Streak poor sales of tablet PCs, which seems once again proven that consumers do not want to buy a small tablet computer products. Perhaps consumers will ultimately favor more compact tablet PC products, but this time yet to come. 5, the holiday sales season approaching Apple currently offers a smaller, less expensive tablet PC does not mean much. Holiday season will be started after a few months, then, of course, Apple will want to take advantage of this market opportunity. So, for Apple, the best way is to continue to sell a consumer want, more expensive products. If you provide a smaller, cheaper, Tablet PC, Apple may ruin the future of the Tablet PC in this section above. 6, shortening the gap is not a wise choice for iPod Touch From a purely functional point of view, iPod Touch and the iPad the difference is not very large. In fact, some say, Apple's music player is the smaller of the iPad. Rumors of a 7-inch iPad will be reduced and the iPod Touch music player, the gap, once this is bound to cause conflict between these two products, or iPod Touch sales are swallowed by 7-inch iPad, or iPad sales of the iPod Touch runs are difficult to break. 7, consider the needs of business users Consumer market may eventually want to get a smaller iPad, however, the market areas of business do not seem to be very popular smaller Apple products. Business users need more display products in order to ensure that employees can be more productive, which is so attractive to corporate executives iPad reason, but the small screen of the iPad may be difficult to attract corporate users, Apple needs to keep in mind this point. 8, sales still strong If iPad sales showing a downward trend, then some may think that Apple may indeed need to introduce a smaller iPad product, the product market in order to reverse the adverse situation. However, according to Apple said the data show that the current iPad sales are still strong. From this, the current Apple is not the best time to Small iPad. Why should the current favorable situation to hand over? Apple, of course not. 9, the current competitors will benefit small iPad Currently sold in stores in a number of Tablet PCs and Apple is still difficult to compete with existing iPad. For example, the Dell Streak Dell Tablet PC is very small, has a 5-inch screen and Android 1.6 system. If Apple introduced a smaller iPad product, it may lose the current competitive advantage, while the momentum transferred to the competitive field of a small tablet PC. The current market situation, consumers certainly prefer 9.7-inch Apple iPad, Dell products with little choice, so if Apple 7 inches iPad, then the consumer may therefore choose smaller Dell products, which of course is not Apple want to see. 10, the market is still "young" Tablet PC market is still "young" stage. Apple has time to take advantage of consumer demand, and made in the field of tablet PCs profits. Apple does not need multi-annual launch of the Tablet PC, but this mature market, Apple can start to try to launch more such products with more features, but for now, Apple should focus attention to some simple equipment, and efforts to consolidate its space in the tablet's position has been achieved.
