I think it may, ironically, be a boon to Apple. Here's why. Android devices have feature parity with the Apple hardware, but more importantly Android OS has semblance of an application ecosystem... I don't think it's any where near the iPad/iPhone app store, but worthy enough to consider it a competitor. If you are going to consider an Android device, the $199 entry point is sure attractive and that's where I would expect a lot of money goes. What does this do to iPad sales? Arguably removes some demand as people select the "good enough tablet" (but is it the one you really want?). Worse, it cannibalizes all of the other Android tablet sales! Now it's Samsung vs Amazon vs Google (Motorola), not "All of Us against Apple" (formerly AoUaMS). And what if the price is too cheap - the hardware is so inferior that it turns people off Android! This could ultimately have a negative impact on Android devices... maybe not highly likely, but still a possibility.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
