Should Apple worry about the high competition on Tablet?

As more and more tablet annouced except the iPad, the competition among these brand name tablets is becoming more and more serious. iPad with its own advantages earn a lot of people's trust while the high price still make some people wonder. At the front of high price, other brand tablets with the similar functions at cheap price will be more welcomed than the iPad. Should apple worry about the high competition on tablet?

Last year about this time, the iPad 2 was coming and so were a slew of slates from Hewlett-Packard, Research in Motion, Samsung and a host of others — all of which failed miserably. Here in 2012, the iPad 3 is just around the corner and, once again, an unruly gaggle of mostly Google Android-powered competitors is also vying for your attention and money.

1.First and foremost on the list of would-be iPad killers is the 7-inch Kindle Fire ($199). However, the most important thing to about Amazon tablet is that it isn’t really an iPad competitor per se — it’s different and different can be good.

2.Barnes & Noble Nook ($199, $249) is a better device with a somewhat more refined user interface. Further, the more expensive model offers double the storage and better overall hardware specs for just $50 more than the Fire.casual users will appreciate the fact that Barnes & Noble has thousands brick and mortar stores where Nook owners can interact with a real human being. Additionally, Nook users can borrow books while in store — community is good.

3.The Asus Transformer ($499.99) is an interesting Android 3.2-based device that comes bundled with a dockable hardware keyboard — in essence this is a notebook computer that transforms into a stand alone tablet.

4.Acer, which was seriously committed to the netbook platform and is just now turning their business around after that market collapsed, was and still is best known for “value” computer hardware. The Iconia A500 is a case in point.

It's easy to find that the kindle fire is greatly welcomed in Amazon for its cheap price and multifunction. And other tablets are great too. People use these tablets to watch movie,listen to the radio,reading the ebooks,etc. They can also upload the videos to their own websites by converting video to flash. Really a very convenient tool to share funny with friends and families. So it is true that the tablet competition is great and apple may not success in this competition.
