The New iPad And Its Competitors (Part 1)

On the 7th of March, people finally got to know about what the third-gen tablet that everyone was anxiously waiting for had to offer to the world. Apple executives unveiled the new iPad at the event, and the features present in the new device confirmed the thoughts of people that the new iPad has rightfully taken the place of ‘best tablet’ currently available. Any why wouldn’t the new iPad wear this crown? The Retina Display, 4G LTE connection and quite a powerful camera has raised the bar for the devices which are to be released yet. However, the market is always fluctuating and the new iPad might face competition from the Windows 8!

As mentioned above, the technology market is always fluctuating and thus, the title which the new iPad is currently wearing can be given to another device. One of the competitors for the title can be the Windows 8. Microsoft, in order to expand their Windows franchise and move out from the mobility and PCs realm, has come up with Windows 8, which doesn’t only operate on desktops and laptops, but on tablets as well. Big, colorful tiles linked to applications are offered to the user though the new Start screen. This start screen has the same “Metro” design aesthetic, which also defines the new Xbox dashboard and the Windows Phone.

Windows 8 is all set to bring tough competition into the mobile game because of its tablet-friendly interface, an app store and a touch-friendly version of the Office. Thus, Windows 8 could take the ‘best tablet’ crown from the new iPad and be the next big thing.

However, time will only tell if the Windows 8 can do what it’s set out to do. Either way, the new iPad can also face competition for the Google Android, and the ‘Ultrabook’ which will be covered in part 2.
