The iPad will continue to dominate the tablet space for many reasons, noted Peter King, analyst at Strategy Analytics in an interview with Wireless and Mobile News.
Tablet buyers are not just buying a tablet but want an entire ecosystem of content, apps and functionality. There will be many hurdles to jump, before the price drops down to $199 for full-powered tablets.
In the case of the HP TouchPad, King said “You could buy a Ferrari at a Ford price,” which accounted for the fast sales when the prices of HP TouchPads were lowered to $99(16GB) and $149(32GB).
