The Future of Phablets

With the introduction of the “new iPad” we had hoped there would be an influx of new Phablets for us to review. Instead there seems to be a very clear movement towards consolidation in the market. “What does that mean?”, you ask. Simple. Many of the vendors who produced Phablets in 2011 have put their products on “hiatus”.

In my opinion manufacturers of Tablets are missing the boat completely. All they need to do when they evaluate their products and sales potential is to look at the Smartphone market.

The iFruit company once was the big seller in the market with their iPhones. Today, Android phones are the biggest sellers. One company doesn’t sell more phones than iFruit but they all sell lots and lots of phones. They need to approach Tablets the same way.

iFruit Fanbois and gurls will continue to buy iFruit products because the are “true believers”. However, for the rest of the billions of people on Earth who want the best product for their hard earned money, Android makers must continue to produce new, and innovative, products. Never fear, the Dark Side can be defeated.
