Price war with tablets to threaten iPads
16/04/11 | Kentucky Business Network
Makers of Android-powered tablets have begun to price their products more aggressively against the iPad. The prices will be set to compete with the iPad’s US$499 entry-level price. Since it’s inception the Apple iPad has been priced extremely aggressively, and other device makers have struggled to fall in line with the prices of Apple’s products when they offer similar features or quality hardware components.
The starting price points for tablets with 10.1 inch screens from ViewSonic, Asustek and Acer range from $279 to $449. Each of these tablets run a different version of the Google OS. Typically they run dual-core ARM processors. One selling point for the Android devices are that they are Flash-capable.
