Patriot that is designed for handheld devices will create the android system is the future of the mainstream, its aigopad goal is to become a leading brand android Tablet PC.
“We are positioning this product mainly for the entertainment, many 10-inch products are used by Microsoft and Intel platforms, may be an advantage of office area, but not very convenient for carrying, 5 inches can be placed in pocket, 7 inch can be placed handbag, while 10 inches is not convenient enough, and this reflects our portability. “Qu Jingdong, said the reporter.

From short-term point of view, the Chinese market next year should be more than 10 million units sold, the market will as the Internet, mobile Internet development and expansion, the demand will become more extensive. “In China there are hundreds of millions of Internet populations, they need such products, so the market is very big.”
Patriot Lei Jun, vice president of electronic products at the same time, “China Times” reporter, said that for aigopad Tablet PC, the Patriot also made preparations for the content of the whole, two types, one is common, may all industries will have, we also will provide, such as Baidu, Cool 6, panda reading the contents of such companies as partners, “the next step will be to enhance the game.” Patriot II is entirely their own proprietary, “for example education for children, schools, universities, etc., we will set foot. ”
Turning aigopad sales goals, so the reporter Qu Jingdong said: “This is the year 2011, we hope that more than one million units.”
Tablet PC manufacturers have enthusiastically participated in the
As we all know, Tablet PC suddenly become hot because of the globalApple iPad, Turned out. Data show that Apple iPad started selling a month, the world has exceeded 1 million units sold, and since Apple iPad pull, Tablet PC sales have more than 10 million units.
Pan Shiyi, June 5 more on their personal micro-Bo said: “Just now saw Apple CEO Louret. He said he expects iPad 8 of months in the Chinese market has.”
And here is more news that Apple has received iPad trademarks in China, launched a lot of action, which most parties concerned, originally Proview Technology ipad trademarks now in the transfer phase, and a suspected Apple’s business are more related product categories iPad registered trademark.
Combination of various sources of view, iPad will soon become a reality in the Chinese market, so domestic Tablet PC manufacturers to face strong competition from Apple’s iPad pressure is the key.
In this regard, Qu Jingdong, said the reporter would not have too much competition. In his view, because the iPad mainly located in the United States with the e-book competition. “Our function is far more than the iPad, and we define it as the portable entertainment products, I think so far, our products are not competitive with what the relationship is completely vendor, only to provide products according to customer needs.”
But interestingly, in the Chinese e-book reading devices on the success of Hanwang Science and Technology on May 18 has just launched its own two Tablet PC TouchPad B10, TouchPad B20. Only with the Patriot electronic aigopad difference is that Hanwang using “Wintel alliance” system, which uses Intel’s CULV and Atom processor, comes loaded with Microsoft’s Windows 7 and Windows XP operating system. Zhang Xuejun, president Hanwang Technology, said in the introduction Hanwang TouchPad, located in the commercial market.
The June 9, Guangzhou, China the United States also released its own brand of custom fly Touch Tablet PC FlyTouch Member price of 999 yuan, is expected to 24 in the national market. It is reported that, FlyTouch use Google Android operating system, 10.2-inch screen.
Usual low prices
Clearly, the Patriot electronic aigopad the operating system, size, product positioning integrated with the Apple iPad, Hanwang TouchPad, the country’s FlyTouch United States are different, with the words of that song Jingdong: “Positioning is completely different including the application platform. ”
On the average user, compared to Apple iPad, Patriot aigopad most direct advantage is price, Qu Jingdong said: “We price this year, product will be less than 3000 yuan.”
Investigation by the reporter learned that the United States time to officially open on April 3 for sale Tablet PC iPad, the lowest price reached 499 U.S. dollars. Although market rumors iPad will enter the Chinese market in August, but even so, iPad, or continue to see rising prices of parallel imports. It is reported that iPad WiFi version of the prices rose 5,000 yuan (16G), 5800 元 6800 yuan 32G and 64G, 3G version of the price is 6900 yuan rose (16G), 7800 元 (32G and 8900 yuan (64G), were up price of 100 yuan.
Apple iPad high prices is clearly a patriot provide direct market opportunities. In fact, in competition with foreign manufacturers, Huaqi Feng long as his family tried the sweetness of low price, this is one of the most representative Huaqi digital camera.
As we all know, earlier in the field of foreign brands dominate the digital camera, Canon, Sony and other product prices are also a few thousand dollars. With the intervention of the Patriot digital camera, digital camera brand in Japan within one year of continuous price reductions up to 42% of the average price cut more than 1,000 yuan, a number of high-end camera cut prices up to 34 thousand dollars.
“The existence of the Patriot digital camera, in fact, save for domestic consumers 6 billion yuan.” Feng has, said it is based on sales of Japanese brands in China, 6 million units calculated.
Back when the digital camera, Feng foothold with low prices, now in the Tablet PC, Feng has met Apple, but also some domestic counterparts, such as Hanwang, the United States and other countries. Although there are many differences between various products, but it is undeniable that are currently doing is a concept – Tablet PC, and thus whether this Feng brilliant reconstruction of digital cameras, Apple iPad may also need to really enter the Chinese market after the under a high.
