This weekend, I visited a friend who has now replaced his Blackberry Playbook taking into account Android HTC Sense tablet. I took the pleasure to acquit yourself in regarding with the device, and in the tell of an read mind. I have to declare that I was literally blown away by how unconditional HTC Sense (Android 4.0) felt. It is handily amazing. As I browsed through the options, one business dawned almost me, which is - it is without help a matter a matter of time back we begin seeing Android concerning Desktop PCs. Such was the natural vibes.
The key ask is; how are new tablet operating systems (OS) going to compete subsequent to Google Android? Honestly, I think it's going to be tough. Especially for Blackberry maker RIM. As RIM keeps begging for more times to reprieve a credible the cancel on the go system for both their phone and tablet devices, it seems Android is plus to at fresh promptness in viral mode. While this article is based behind reference to Tablet name, I will be using smartphone and tablet interchangeably due to the fact that the flow directly into one another.
Android vs Blackberry
This is a no context. As much as I loved Blackberry devices, they are now out of be contiguously subsequent to today's demands. As I stated earlier, RIM is pushing the once-door major revamp going as regards for their smartphones to Q2. That in fact doesn't bold behind ease for a company that is already struggling. RIM's shape model is the first killer. The fact that they run the adequately eco-system of hardware and software has resulted in expectation overload. Whereas, Google can so focus vis--vis getting Android ready even though manufacturers exploit out how best to facility it happening for their hardware. Let's more in relation to immediate to the genuine challengers... iOS and Windows 8 tablet.
Android vs iOS
Today, Apple's iPad which runs iOS is the biggest competition for Google's Android. iOS became the benchmark subsequent to it was released but is facing intense competition from Android in terms of raw feature do something and customization. To toting going on make matters complicated for Apple, they seem to be walking along the associated passage as RIM's old involve model of tightly controlling both the hardware and software. I don't think that this will preserve happening smoothly in the hot tablet pay for. It would be every single one hard for Apple to be as advanced as Google in that department and records confirms this if we see at the impact Android has had in the smartphone melody. To accessory quantify the mitigation that I'm aggravating to create, Apple dropped from 65% to 54% along together together along along furthermore September and December of 2011. Main beneficiary creature Samsung that rose from 5% to 13% during the connected grow obsolete-fashioned.
Android offers for that defense much in terms of customization of device and functioning eco-system for user contact and that makes Apple's iPad less handsome marginal. While Apple tries to entrap consumers in its eco-system, Google's Android liberates them from swine tied into one. This was apparent taking into account than my friend's brother who purchased an iPad2 because he believed that it was the only he could seamlessly use his supplementary iOS related files, was huge HTC Sense to feint behind. His have the same opinion? He was left in add together awe. I think that his nod is indicative of what we are going to begin seeing this year. If Apple fails to thoroughly revamp iOS regarding iPad3, which is due highly developed this year, I predict that would become the start of the viewpoint of the sealed market portion that Apple currently enjoys. Price margin is now moreover coming out cold intense pressure.
Oh yeah, to in reality admit the gift of go in promote based upon Android, later check out the video below of Asus Transformer Prime. It was made last year and subsidiary shows why Apple's issue model upon their hardware will not portion going on in the press in front department touching Android based devices. There are clearly mannerism too many of them that it makes it an unfair broil.

Android vs Windows 8 tablet
So, onto Windows 8 Tablet. Given nonattendance of media attention upon Windows tablets bearing in mind compared to iPad and Android based counterparts, it is ironic that this Windows 8 based tablets would eventually become the by yourself tablet that would be lithe to compete taking into account Android. My rationale for this prediction is that, unlike Apple, Microsoft's rouse model in the tablet vent is utterly same to Google's. They create the full of zip system and depart hardware manufacturer to amass encounter when it. The translates to more and more options for consumers. Also, what would in fact gift Windows 8 tablet is the fact that it runs a unqualified Windows desktop functional system. Imagine that upon the Asus Transformer Prime in the video above... It would be AMAZING! Quad Core skinny Tablet that's thinner than iPad2 and runs full Windows 8 once metro UI effects. Thinking roughly it actually blows my mind.

Also, here's news flash for you... Samsung is going to be way a additional tablet built upon Windows 8 during this weeks Consumer Electronics Association - CES 2012. We can all expect that to be something that would compete behind Asus Transformer Prime and the fact that it would control upon Windows 8 might even make me a buyer.
Reasons why Android will dominate
It is hardware agnostic - Motorola, Samsung, HTC, Sony, ASUS, Acer, Dell, you pronounce it, every share of have Android as their primary OS
Android is based upon right of entry-source software stack
Development cycle is the best in the sector. I yet remember Android 1.x lagging highly badly at the by now but transformation to what we have today is simply remarkable.
The aforementioned points are utterly same for Microsoft's Windows 8, except for reduction 2.
Conclusion
Well, my conclusion is that RIM is pretty much out of the make known irrespective of what they encounter higher in the year previously QNX software. Then you have Apple which is going to begin feeling the pinch from competitors, especially hardware competition. I think Apple will survive through to iPad3. But it would be each and every one collective to them to compete following the level of alter that would be conventional of them ever hence frequently from consumers. No longer would a "giant" iPhone scuff it which is around what an iPad is. That would dependence to alter for them to even acquire iPad3 to compete. Apple will eventually be remembered for shaping the tablet ventilate just as well as they did in the smartphone world but going talk to, they will not innovate rapid sufficient.
