Microsoft hit the tablet market too late?
Bill Gates and Microsoft had the right idea a decade ago when they first started to release tablet PCs on the market. They were clunky, expensive, and the company did not improve over the years. As a result, they lose their currents turn when Apple Tablet valve completely blast one and a half years ago. Microsoft is ready to jump, but is it too late?
Next week, Steven Sinofsky, president of Microsoft’s Windows division, which is expected early version of the tablet operating system is activated, code-named show (to wait) Windows 8. There are a lot of excitement when the first of a series of videos called Building the rear window in August released in June. The interface is very clean and shows the potential to become part of the current issues of IOS and Android tablet to dissolve.
Based on the size of Microsoft and the popularity of tablet (nearly 30 million iPads sold within a year and a half), they would easily have been able to provide three-company race. The problem they have is time. They were too late for the game.
This problem became apparent with the lack of success for Windows 7 Phone. That’s a nice feature, but was released about two years after the iPhone and Android phones are already up, running, and applications developed for them.
Experts say it could take 12 months before Microsoft can release Windows Tablet 8. At that time, there may be 100 million tablets Android running IOS or already in the hands of men. This will be a big mountain to climb for them.
Of course there are problems with adoption and conquest. People like what they know and it is difficult to make them change if they are already familiar with IOS or Android. However, these challenges will be overcome by a strong innovation and a huge advertising budget.
Major challenges in application development. Android is nearly 10 times as many applications such as Windows and IOS has nearly twice as much as Android. Anyone who tablets Android or iPhone, which also jumped on the touchpad HP chose something that is learned in the last few months – there just is not enough WebOS applications to be successful.
It’s not just Google and Apple, which will have an advantage over Microsoft. Amazon is expected to plunge into the tablet market with products of their own Android. With the launch is expected before Christmas, they form a potentially greater threat than any other tablet makers Android.
Windows 8 can be successful? With so many challenges on the basis of their entry to the end of the race, they would need a supercharger. They have a number of product innovations that are much better than the competition. Because a little better will not hack. They will require IOS Android and blow the water with technology that makes people think they definitely need to get one.
In short, for Microsoft to succeed in the OS market tablet, they will be more like Apple … only better.
