There was a sound of revelry by night
And
Belgium’s capital had gather’d then
Her Beauty and her chivalry, and bright
The lamps shone o’er fair women and brave men
Byron, Childe Harold, III
The official tweet for the visit as plastered across The US State Department’s Website, quote: “The secretary will reaffirm the US commitment to the region, and underscore our joint partnerships in enhancing citizen and regional security; promoting clean energy and combating climate change; promoting economic development; and strengthening democratic institutions”.
However we Jamaicans know the real deal.
US Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, Secretary of State is here to full her belly with more June Plum juice and possibly steal our secret recipe!
Did I forget Blue Power Cake Soap! I am willing to bet that US Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, Secretary of State will wish to meet with “The Teacher”!
Awoah! Bets anyone?
Another great quote from Dr Neal Johnson, assistant professor of Microbiology in the Oral Diagnosis, Radiology and Pathology department at
Loma
Linda
University, their Californian sister
Seventh
Day
Adventist
University: “
Sorrel (Hibiscus Sabdariffa) extract induces cell death in an Oral Squamous Carcinoma Cell line.”
So a good Tablet will make me mobile. But which one?
Coming with dockable Bluetooth Keyboards and running on every possible conceivable OS Platform, from Windows 8 to Google Android 3.1 aka Honeycomb and in as may size variants possible.
This when you throw in previous months of April and May 2011AD shipments figures of two hundred thousand (200,000) apiece! Thus the June 2011AD figures represent an increase of 50% over April and May 2011AD shipments figures!
So the real contenders for the No. 2 spot are really the
Asus Transformer and the “White” Label Tablets made by the Chinese manufacturers, certain to spark a nascent repair and service industry, being as most of these Tablets are Android based and rootable!
So says component analyst iSuppli, which tabulated a 0.3% dip in PC sales when the First Quarter of 2011 is compared to the First Quarter of 2010, representing roughly eighty one million the hundred thousand (81,300,000) PC’s as stated in the article “
iPad taking some bite out of PC sales, says iSuppli”, published MAY 25, 2011 9:18 AM PDT by Lance Whitney,
CNET News – Crave.
Again a decent table from iSuppli will suffice:
IHS iSuppli analyst Matthew Wilkins sums up what I am basically thinking with regards to the PC, in much fancier language, quote: “The increasing momentum of the media Tablet market, led by the iPad, is creating a difficult environment for the PC industry. All the attention surrounding Tablets contributed to weak consumer demand for PCs in the first quarter.”
However, the analyst admits there’s still uncertainty over exactly how much of an impact Tablets are having on the PC market.
Being rather chatty, IHS iSuppli analyst Matthew Wilkins offers an explanation as to why the PC is not yet fully extinct ands I am hoping, quote: “IHS believes that the jury is still out on exactly how much Tablets are cannibalizing PC sales. However, the rising number of Tablet models on the market, along with certain high-profile product launches during the first quarter, caused confusion among consumers as to exactly how to view the Tablet platform relative to the PC platform. This contributed to the PC sales decline in the first quarter.”
This uncertainty would explain the observations recorded by
CNET News Editor Brook Crothers as to why the Tablet adoption among non-
Apple iPad contenders has been so slow as stated in his article “
The iPad is the Tablet market, for now”, published JUNE 18, 2011 7:48 PM PDT by Brooke Crothers,
CNET News – NanoTech.
The other Tablet makers are used to a market that is driven mostly by Corporate and
Enterprise sales and tech enthusiasts. Making user-friendly products that appeal to a mass market is apparently not up their street.
They lack the attention to detail ergonomics, aesthetics and slick Marketing that makes
Apple’s products “magical”, being as they are used to just selling products to the Corporate and Enterprise World, which are usually staffed with their own in-house IT and Network Administrators to troubleshoot Compute problems.
Exactly as I had predicted, as PC makers, like Telecom Providers are inherently lazy.
They like quick turnarounds and rapid markets that require little in the way of Marketing. They expect their brand name recognition to make the product start flying off the shelves at whatever price they choose to sell their products.
Even when the products do not measure up to
Apple’s!
So the prognostications of J.P. Morgan analyst Mark Moskowitz as to the decline of sales by other Tablet makers such as HP, Dell, Motorola and RIM due to the Apple Effect comes as no surprise as stated in the article “Analyst: iPad forcing rival Tablet makers to cut back”, published June 2, 2011 8:39 AM PDT by Lance Whitney, CNET News – iPad Atlas.
He notes that
- Only Apple, HTC, and Lenovo are on track with sales
- Acer, Dell, Motorola, RIM, Toshiba, and Samsung are being hammered
Again, more quotable quotes from the J.P. Morgan analyst Mark Moskowitz, quote: “We do not think the first generation of Tablet offerings from the non-
Apple Tablet hopefuls stand to offer compelling price and feature sets to drive incremental purchasers within vendors’ projections”
So it’s settled then.
With the failures of the other well-known Tablet makers in the US Market, some with computer and Laptop making pedigree, some without, it is now so obvious as to why. It appears to be mainly due to a lack of:
- Clear Marketing and advertising
- Great specs
- Compelling Pricing
- Performance
- Usefulness
- US Economy
Just not from the Americans and Canadian in the form of
HP,
Dell,
Motorola and
RIM anytime soon, as they are not ready to do the legwork required to design and retail the concept that is the Tablet.
This as
Asus,
HTC,
Acer and the White “Box” Tablet makers, all based in the Far East are the ones REALLY in contention for the No. 2 spot in terms of Tablet sales both in their back yard as well as in the US of A.
