Google Tablet PC threat to Apple iPad Ten Reasons

Apple iPad tablet PCs and none experienced competitors, but as ready to use with Google Chrome the operating system (Chrome OS) of the Tablet PC to compete, Apple may Google will begin to worry about the challenges of tablet PCs.

Although no public announcement that Google will produce in the near future, the Tablet PC operating system with Chrome, but the possibility of production become more and more.

Earlier this week, a Tablet PC on Google how to work the icon appears in the official Chromium blog. Despite the company's quick to point out that these patterns only "concept UI" interface, which has been familiar. Google, like Apple Tablet PC Tablet PC can set the kind of virtual keyboard, you can achieve multiple simple functions such as: surfing the web, check email or edit office documents.

Despite the theoretical proof of the images and video does not mean that the success of the real world, but Google will still be the Apple Tablet PC Tablet PC as a competitor. Google not only has a general flat Tablet PC features, it also has a strong company support, and the company has provided a reliable and meet the needs of the service.

Most importantly, Google Tablet PC network operating system makes it more revolutionary product, as Apple's successful launch of the Tablet computer as Google on the Apple Tablet PC could be a serious threat. The following reasons: 

1. Google Tablet PC from Google
If just a small little-known new network operating system developed by the Tablet PC to compete with Apple, it would face an uphill battle. However, Google is the search giant, which knows how to be successful in high-tech industries; it also fully recognizes that consumers are looking for a touch device. Google is a company worthy of Apple's worries.

2.  Multi-tasking
Apple Tablet PC is a major problem is the lack of multi-tasking capabilities. If users want to work quickly switch to another page to read news, he first needs to close the current page. This is a serious problem, but Chrome Tablet PCs as propaganda, as it can multi-task simultaneously, this is a great advantage.

3.  The important role of the network
Chrome the operating system offers several luxury features, including offline storage and so on. As more and more software added, users will be using a more convenient and more use of the network operating system. Chrome the operating system can do this, but Apple's operating system can not.

4.  Chrome computer operating system designed specifically for light
Chrome the operating system currently can not compare Windows 7 and Mac operating systems. But Chrome is designed for Internet users to create an operating system, this means that the operating system must feature simple, easy to use, and its simple design is as suitable for tablet PC users.

5.  Google knows how to play the role of touch technology
With Google's Android platform in the advent of Google has demonstrated its ability to touch operation technology can be applied freely. Google is now the only companies that can "copy" the iPhone multi-touch operation of technology companies, if Google will this technology in flat panel computer, then for Apple, is definitely a challenge.

6.  Apple iPad is not a groundbreaking product
Steve Jobs wants the world believe that despite the iPad in all respects can be called a revolutionary product, but not so in fact iPad. The market already existed several Tablet PC, its functions have completely comparable with iPad. iPad would still exist a number of "negligence", Google can take this as a breakthrough for the Chrome Tablet PC take more market share.

7.  The Internet is the App Store
iPad is one of the major advantages of Apple's App Store, Apple claims to have more than 140,000 kinds of applications available for download. But the Tablet PC in this regard Chrome definitely has enough power to "beat" iPad - Chrome the operating system itself does not need too many applications, the vast Internet world is the largest in the App Store.

8.  Built-in software
Apple iPad launch, but also improved after the introduction of iWork, it can allow users to use iPad in the efficient management software suite - but the problem is not the best interactive iWork office software. The Google launched Google Docs is completely different, it is considered the best on the market today web-based interactive office software.

9.  Google's price advantage
Google's Chrome the operating system is designed for portable computer design, and therefore doomed Chrome Tablet PC is very low price.

10. Universality is the key
Chrome the operating system has strength, and also the biggest drawbacks are that Apple - Chrome can be applied to any computer. Apple iPad developed software can only be applied, but the Chrome the operating system can be widely used in Dell, HP and Lenovo branded computer. If the increasing number of computer operating system to use Chrome, then Google will occupy more and more market share.
