Apple Further Dominates Tablet Space With New Ipad - Frost & Sullivan

By Tengku Noor Shamsiah Tengku Abdullah SINGAPORE, March 8 (Bernama) -- Apple has again met expectations and upped the ante with the added features in place for the new iPad. The new device is the first Apple product to include 4G LTE Technology. Together with the HD retina display that is four times the number of pixels in the iPad 2 screen, Apple is trying hard to ensure that it remains the dominant market player in the tablet space. Frost & Sullivan Vice President for ICT Practice, Asia Pacific, Jayesh Easwaramony said: "The new iPad is a global product that caters to an evolved market of mobile internet users with strong purchasing power, it will attract consumers in the more developed markets of the Asia Pacific region like South Korea, Singapore, Japan, Hong Kong and Australia." "iPad currently rules the tablet category by a wide margin with a close to 70 per cent market share. "The new iPad further protects its interests by building in more attractive features such as the HD display and more processing power to continue its dominance as the de facto tablet of choice," he said in a statement here. -- BERNAMA
