Why in the field of Tablet PC, Android is still a loser?
At the end of 2, the Google Andy Rubin announced the Android plate on the market already amounted to 12 million, while the apple in 4 days have been sold 1 /4 of this number. Apple every three months sells so many iPad devices. In the number of the closest competitor to the iPad status of Kindle, at last the holidays sold only about 3 million units. Then, how such a situation will interpret? Why Apple iPad is so ahead of their competitors 3 years ago? Perhaps the following illustrates some problems.
Compared to the other plates, iPad is really great.
iPad owns the best operating system, owns more and better Apps for the user to choose, and also has good prospects of gain, there are a lot of APP developers continuing to build the good ecological system ... Also, these advantages for iPhone is the same. And Android has been in the catch state.
Time has changed
Apple can sell iPad to anyone, without the fear of a similar Verizon and AT&T operators limiting to customers.
On the price, iPad is cheaper than any other competitor's products
In the same price, no other products can provide iPad so good performance and experience, and in a lot of the time, experience can not be measured by money.
Compared to a fully opened Android, closed iOS maybe better
Remember, once a majority of people think that apple is too close, too strict, but when it has nearly 600,000 APPs, not many people think apple is completely closed. Open, closed are relative. In a natural ecosystem, the development of a good ecological system is closed, once a joint not closely related, the whole chain will be damaged with different degrees. At the same time, the ecological system needs fresh blood, needs to break something, needs to create something. And APP development of this ring, I think it is open blood of the apple close system, without destroying the balance at the same time, continuing to this system to create fresh blood. And IDC recently published data seems to confirm this, in Android with iOS two system, APP developers interested in more of the latter. Maybe make the benign ecosystem, apple is indeed worth reference.
So it seems that we can say that, under the circumstances, in front of the iPad, Android if not a loser, the road to catch up with iPad is also very long.
DVD to iPad and iPad Converter are dedicated to developing apps for Apple iOS devices.

Why did Amazon China pull Apple's iPad From Shell?
A new report claims Amazon removed the iPad from its Chinese website at Apple's request because it is not an authorized reseller, not because of pressure from a high-profile ongoing trademark dispute between Apple and Proview.
After Apple's iPad disappeared from Amazon.cn earlier this week, some were quick to speculate that the move was connected to a legal battle between Apple and Proview over the iPad trademark in China.
However, people familiar with the matter told The Wall Street Journal that Apple had requested Amazon China stop selling the iPad because it lacked the proper authorization to offer the device. According to the source, the Cupertino, Calif., iPad maker had been working with Amazon for weeks to have the listings taking down.The tipster went on to clarify that the issue was separate from the escalating disagreement between Apple and Proview that came to a head earlier this week. But, it remains unclear whether the removal of iPad listings from Chinese retailer Suning that also occurred this week is related to that lawsuit.
After suing Apple for trademark infringement, Proview succeeded in convincing some mainland authorities to confiscate iPads in smaller cities throughout Beijing beginning last week.
Apple maintains that it purchased the Chinese rights to the iPad mark in a multi-country deal several years ago. “Proview refuses to honor their agreement with Apple in China,” said spokeswoman Carolyn Wu.
A previously unpublished court ruling from last July showed that the High Court of Hong Kong sided with Apple on the matter and demanded Proview transfer the trademark over to Apple.
At the time of the removal, an Amazon China spokesperson indicated that the iPad had been removed at Apple's request rather than as a result of actions associated with the trademark dispute, but Apple's reasons for the request were unknown.
The Wall Street Journal now reports that Apple did indeed request that Amazon China remove the iPad from sale, simply due to Amazon China not being an officially authorized retailer.
The Cupertino, Calif., consumer electronics giant asked Amazon in China to stop selling iPads because it is not an authorized reseller, according to people familiar with the matter. Amazon has since removed iPads offered by other resellers on its Chinese website as well.
The report's sources indicate that the move was not specifically related to the ongoing trademark dispute, although the timing suggests that it perhaps did play some role in the decision, if only by spurring Apple to reassess iPad distribution in China and tie up any loose ends.
While Chinese courts have so far ruled against Apple in the trademark dispute with Proview Technology, Apple has noted that it did win a court case on the issue in Hong Kong last year. The Wall Street Journal's report offers some additional details on that decision, which held that Proview and its subsidiaries had conspired against Apple in a scheme to extract more money from Apple.
The court said, in its findings, that Proview, its subsidiaries and at least one other company had combined together "with the common intention of injuring Apple," by breaching the agreement over the iPad name. The court, calling the event a conspiracy, further said Proview had "attempted to exploit the situation as a business opportunity," by asking for money.
"It is accordingly important that (Apple) is able to secure and obtain the China trademarks," the court wrote in its decision.

Apps Now Is More Powerful Than Media?
App has dominated the world. If you do not agree with it, I'll prove it. iPhone now reaches 123 countries and regions. Of course, if you use iPhone, you are using iPhone app. Just like internet, now app are used every corner of the world.
However, media, including books, music, movies, are used much less than apps. Just look at Apple, report said that only 51 countries and regions can purchase music through iTunes and 6 countries and regions can purchase TV show on iTunes.
There are many limitations in traditional media area, especially in TV and Movies. And every channel customes their own rules(Cinema, Pay to watch, DVD, Cable TV and Internet Streaming Media). iTunes' music and video and all the music and video on the internet's limitation on geographic shows that there's still a long way to go to make a legal market of digital media all around the world.
There is one way that can do that: app. It presents the future of media. App is media. Just like games and software are regarded as media, app is also a kind of media. Not only that, it now a swallow other forms of media little by little.
We first experience this kind of "software swallows media" is Book. The best book on iPad does not only provide iBook and Kindle version, but also provided as standalone app. All the best child book on iPad are apps with full function. They all integrate pictures and video in the user experience.
"Tin Tin" on iPad is a perfect example of this. It is adapted from a carton movie, in which integrates 3D model and 360° room to let readers to feel that you are in the story. Music and movies are relatively passive experience, but they now in apps and become one of the funcion in an app. With the more and more media are integrated into apps, software and media's boundary is now much fuzzier than ever before.
This trend first appeares in production areas, more and more music, video and movie are produced by iPhone. Apps that can integrate music and video are much more than before. Before we enter the next era, we need a lone time of upgrading. Think about it. Nowadays, how the whole media content is spreaded by app? No matter people enjoy the media through Spotify or watch movies with iPad through netflix, the music and movies do not change anyway. It just provides much better user experience.
If you want to promote a music or a TV show and make it popular among people, you can put them on Facebook and Twitter and millions of people will share it and your music or TV show will really really popular. You do not need to spend millions of USD to promote it on radio or TV.
The apps that provides this kind of media will influnce our consumption habits very much. Apps will help us to find media through SNS and bring them to TV, iPad, speaker and other devices. They do that without a set-top boxes, radio and book store and they make you spend your money with app. Every media compay must pay attention to this or they will be in trouble.
