Smartphone makers, not companies of personal computers, are better positioned to make the tablet PC because of close ties between operating systems and exterior design, a researcher from Taiwan said on Wednesday.
Vendors like Apple and Research in Motion (RIM), between the creators of today's most successful smartphone, capable of adapting portable tablet PC, operating systems to get parts and reuse easily the basic display technology for mobile devices is slightly larger, Ian Peng, an analyst with DigiTimes research in Taipei, said.
PC makers such as Acer and Asustek Computer of Taiwan have said they expect grab substantial market shares Tablet PC in 2011. However, on Tuesday, maker HTC smartphone released Tablet Flyer.
This could be a sign of the times. DigiTimes, which specializes in hardware consumer electronics, Apple believes, in its iPad Tablet market-leading PC shortly after the release of the iPhone, is an example of what's to come. "The iPhone and iPad are just different in their touch panel size," said Peng.
DigiTimes that forecasts will be compressed to 5-10 percent of the global PC market, reaching 55 million this year and 65 million in 2012. 2011 total, Apple will make some 40 million, with RIM and Samsung contributing most of the remainder.
Consumers are likely to see a strong connection between the two types of touchscreen device, he added. "People buy their smartphones first and then the Tablet," Peng said. "Why? Is the user experience. "
The latest smartphone makers don't expect to beat Apple on new technology, because it can take a year or two later and still make money without doing expensive preliminary research, Peng said.
"Steve Jobs is one guy who wants to make products considering human behavior, not components. Apple is willing to pay a lot of money on things that may never come true, "he said. "It is sufficient to support the industry by being very large. That is always the cycle. Apple will be first. "
