Sony to challenge Apple.
January 24th 2011 04:37
For months people have speculated that Sony would use some of its credible capacity to build its won tablet PC and join the tablet war. Hints that such a project is in the works have popped up time and time again, but some interesting new question have emerged lately. Why would you like a Sony tablet? Tech pundits are torn on the idea that Sony is joining the already crowded tablet market. Tech site eWeek ignited the blogosphere when it reported the company was planning to launch a tablet, aim to battle Apple’s iPad and other tablet vendors, the company is shooting for no.2 spot position just behind Apple. It was one of the most interesting stories right now in the tech world. But in this day it’s a kind of a challenging and that it’s fraught with risks. Those risky moves come always with hundred of millions of dollars in engineering costs and could put Sony’s reputation at great risk. Despite of its enormous size and global reach, Sony will face an uphill battle here, something brutal and fierce. What will a Sony tablet do in the market? In fact Sony is shooting for the no.2 spot behind industry leading Apple. Sony has yet to join that tablet market, but in a months or even year it nonetheless plans to become the no.2 player behind Apple or Samsung. It’s a surprise thing Sony has its sight on no.2 spot behind Apple. Sony admitted that it was keeping an eye on the tablet space and the company won’t just watch them and playing sitting duck, Sony will join the tablet market.
Beating Apple is a tough works. Apple iPad is the top tablet in the world. It also the market’s key driver. A slew of tablet from various vendors like Dell, Samsung, Cisco, Motorola and RIM are making their way into the tablet space in an attempt to seize their own piece of pie, and potentially beat iPad. Unfortunately for those companies like RIM beating the iPad is a tall order. It requires tremendous works and incredible focus to succeed. But few companies never lost hope, they still believes they have the chance to thrive in the iPad dominated environment. It’s quite possible that, with the right plan, any company with a solid vision can keep up with iPad in the tablet space. Despite Sony’s enormous size, I think Sony will find it quiet hard to become the no.2 tablet manufacturer, it’s impossible. Well it one of the world’ most leading consumer electronics manufacturer. What exactly Sony wants? Sony is eyeing the tablet market, which suggests that the company may be planning to displace Apple as the leading tablet manufacturer. But that would also mean taking on archrival Samsung, which has its own aspirations to steal Apple’s tablet business. It’s a jungle out there. Bypassing Samsung is not easy, we do believe that Samsung as result of its huge scale and massive marketing muscles and mobile operator partners, will become the leading tablet manufacturer going forward, it has all the shot to displace Apple as a leader in the highly lucrative tablet space. This mean that Sony, in order to hit second place, will have to dethrone fist Samsung, and it would be a very tall order. Sony arrives late to the game, its impossible and one that will hardly be tailing off any time soon. Research companies expected tablet sales to rise from 57 million in 2011 to 171 million by 2014. And Samsung, which made an aggressive entry into the market, is on fire. It already sell more 9 million Galaxy Tabs within the first two months of the tablet release is working now on a 4G version for Verizon Wireless. Even if a rumored PSP/phone/tablet due get rolled out, simply smashing a PSP with a phone or tablet won’t work, it doesn’t really do much for creating a software platform that third party developers can get behind.
This could be the shot in the arm the entire tech sector have been waiting for. The tablet market has new member, a new kid on the block-Sony. It’s a tough challenge for a new entrant like Sony. After all who would have believed that either Google or Apple would succeed in the mobile space market a few years ago. No one expect that Apple would come and dominate the mobile space market for years. No one knows that one day Sony would come and if the God forbid! Dominate the market.
