Published:2011/2/24 1:23:00 Author:Li xiao na From:SeekIC

Despite the cell phone, tablet computer is regarded as another electronic product which can be carried in the pocket. Unlike the incomplete industrial chain of E-Book or the weak supplier chain of netbook, the industrial chain and profit model are more mature. There are so many factories in the industrial chain; therefore, the market still has uneven quality. Currently, the mainstream plans are Android and ARM except the iPad. Supported by Google, Android and ARM brings so much convenience to the middle and small manufacturers. The shipment of this plan has reached 1kk every month at present, and this quantity is increasing.

However, Android and ARM have so many maybes; for example, the Android operating system is designed for the users of cell phone, which can not support the large-size touch screen devices. The new emerged Android 3.0 is designed for tablet computer, which is able to improve the user experience. Still, most of the tablet computer can not update to the new system because of the insufficient hardware. This situation makes the manufacturers confused. Beside, Android has some weak links, such as the serious homogenization, lacking of anti-virus application. All these had left behind hidden troubles for the industry.

In the aspect of hardware, the high-end master controls are unable to provide enough support to the middle or small brands because of company’s policy problem. Luckily, there is a large turning point in the aspect of software and hardware this year, such as the Android 3.0, ARM Cortex-A8 and so on. For the master control plan, many manufacturer, which are professional in cell phone industry, are going to enter the tablet computer field. Apart from Apple and Samsung, the other brands are on the same starting line. For these companies, choosing the good partners and plans influences the quality and market share directly. Meanwhile, the chip technique is also very important. The related integrated circuit is BU1006.
