There is a new tablet that is although late came to compete with the iPad. Nonetheless, this new rival will apparently have a hard time succeeding in its goals and objectives. iPad and tablet technology is a highly competitive marketplace and therefore it is very difficult to compete with what they have done.
The new tablet, introduced by a lesser-known manufacturer, boasts decent specifications: high-definition screen, quality processor, and acceptable cost. Technically, it seems to be a strong contender for the iPad. However, the future is not as bright as it seems certain to be. Added to the fact that the iPad has the support of other Apple products and services present favorable conditions, which it difficult for new competitors to imitate.
This is along with the fact that the new tablet is faced with software optimization problems. It has okay hardware but the operating system is not anywhere near the intuitive and smooth user experience of iPad OS. The difficulty of getting and the quality of apps is also one hurdle because most of the developers’ focus on the Apple platform leaves the iPad richer and more diverse in the App Store ecosystem.
Customer brand loyalty to Apple built on several years of consistent quality in satisfying customers’ high expectations in the market is another obstacle. The iPad is not just a product; it is also a holy cow because it represents a way of life for many users and users are often reluctant to part from their ways.
Thus, It may be claimed that although the new tablet tries to pose as an alternative to iPad, it falls short in presenting itself as a serious contender with Apple due to the lack of comprehensive tablet ecosystem, software polish and general brand loyalty the company has been creating. Hence much is evident that the launch of this new competitor has little to no potential of challenging iPad’s dominance in the tablet industry.
