- 2. New iPad vs Windows 8 Tablet
New
iPad,
third
genera4on
of
iPad
was
launched
by
Apple
on
7
March
2012.
No
maCer
what
fanboys
or
haters
will
say,
one
thing
is
for
sure,
Apple
is
going
to
sell
millions
of
these
new
iPads,
pre-‐orders
have
been
sold
out
already.
Customer
response
to
new
iPad
has
been,
what
is
being
called
as
“off-‐charts”.
Apple
shipped
out
15.4
million
iPads
in
the
last
quarter
of
2012.
Amazon.com
shipped
over
4.7
million
Kindle
Fire
devices,
which
puts
it
at
second
behind
Apple
in
terms
of
most
tablet
PCs
shipped.
But
Kindle
Fire
is
not
compe4ng
with
iPad,
even
revised
price
of
iPad
2
at
$399
is
way
higher
than
Kindle
Fire.
Amazon
is
only
able
to
sell
these
many
tablets
because
they
are
selling
it
rock-‐boCom
cheap,
even
lower
than
cost
they
incur.
Amazon
seem
to
care
more
about
selling
that
content
than
they
do
about
turning
a
profit
on
tablets
themselves.

- 3. New iPad vs Windows 8 Tablet
Android
Tablets
have
not
been
able
to
catch
up
to
iPads
popularity
in
past,
and
probably
they
won’t
be
able
to
do
so
in
near
future
atleast.
That
makes
us
wonder
if
there
is
any
tablet
with
a
real
poten4al
to
compete
with
iPad.
Well
seems
like
there
can
be
one,
Windows
8
tablet,
when
it
launches
later
this
year.
Here
are
few
points
which
makes
it
beCer
compe4tor
than
any
of
the
earlier
launched
tablets.

- 4. We are Talking Windows
Windows
8
will
be
everywhere.
Windows
s4ll
holds
a
major
market
share
in
PC
segment,
which
means
that
it
will
be
shipped
on
million
of
devices
by
many
manufacturers.
Apple
has
been
trying
to
reduce
the
gap
between
Desktop
and
Tablet
compu4ng
with
Mac
Lion,
Windows
8
will
have
that
advantage
from
day
1
of
its
launch.
Even
if
Windows
8
fails
on
expecta4ons,
like
Vista,
it
will
have
a
fair
chance
at
success.

- 5. ARM Based Processor and more
Since
Windows
8
Tablets
will
be
based
on
ARM
processor,
it
can
compete
with
iPad
on
some
highly
promoted
features
like
thinness,
long
baCery
life
and
general
elegance.
Windows
8
will
also
run
on
great
variety
of
desktop
and
portable
PCs
as
well
as
ones
that
split
the
difference
between
PC
and
tablet.
Because
of
this
versa4lity
of
Windows
8,
it
is
seen
as
a
tough
compe4tor
to
iPads.

- 6. Solid Selection of Application
Microsob
knows
as
much
as
any
company
on
the
planet
about
catering
to
the
interests
of
third-‐party
developers.
Most
of
the
developers
who
currently
write
old
style
Windows
apps
are
presumably
at
least
considering
wri4ng
new-‐style
Metro
ones.
This
means
that
Windows
8
will
boast
of
great
number
of
available
applica4ons,
and
we
know
that
availability
of
high
quality
apps
can
very
well
be
a
big
selling
point
for
any
device.
