The year that is coming to an end has brought one of the most interesting novelties in the field of electronics and technology: the iPad.
About 3 millions pieces of this small jewel of technology, which has been conceived for a long-range diffusion, were sold in the first three months after the launch. The success achieved by the iPad has caused many doubts about the possibility it had to replace the PC completely, invading its market, but the first data regarding the sales of PC and iPad reveal that the dominant trend is not replacing the old PC with the more modern instrument, but using both. 90% of the iPad that have been sold, indeed, are added to, and do not replace, the more “ancient” electronic instruments, which can already be found in the consumers’ houses. This is what emerges from the “iPad Owner Survey”, a study carried out by the society Npd to analyze the impact that the innovative tablet has had on the market of computers. The data that have been gathered show that only 13% of the iPad and 24% of the e-book readers that have been purchased have replaced the pc. Another interesting data regards the connection between the iPad owners and those who have other Apple products: 48% of the people who have bought the tablet were already Mac fans, while 38% also have an iPhone.
As far as the challenge between iPad and other technological instruments is concerned, the competition will probably be between iPad and other similar items, like netbooks, notebooks, e-readers, and in future between iPad and other types of tablets. The iPad can be seen as a pioneer product of a new market that will expand in the future, also due to other competitors.
The first decade of the new millennium is coming to an end, let’s get ready to welcome a new decade that will probably bring even more technological innovations than the previous one.
