"President, Lenovo Group is being sued by the Apple company, and they are still fighting the lawsuit. Should we use this opportunity to introduce our new product to the North American market? "
Norio Ohga leaned back in his chair and took a deep puff of his cigar. He blew out a smoke ring: "With this kind of sales model, how can we not be sued? Have you tested our new product? How is its performance? "
The person in charge of product R&D was a little embarrassed. "President, our hardware uses Intel, and the core … looks bigger. In terms of performance, it has its own advantages and disadvantages compared to the L-PAD and iPad. But in terms of operating system, we use Microsoft's XPTablet system. Although this system has been upgraded many times, it is still a system from five years ago, so …"
"So what? So the performance will be bad? " Norio Ohga was unhappy. If the operating system of a smart electronic product is not good, no matter how good the hardware is, it will be useless.
"It is not bad, but it is slower than the L-Pad and iPad. But the average consumer should not have many requirements for it. It should not be a problem to run some software slower. "
"Ok." Norio Ohga nodded. "Anything else?"
"There are a lot of applications based on the XP system. We don't need to deliberately develop them, and we can provide users with a lot of useful applications. We even have an advantage because there are more applications under the XP system, and most of them can run on our tablets."
"Also, Microsoft will be introducing a new generation of PC operating system. I heard they will be introducing a new generation operating system for smartphones and tablets. After the new operating system is released, we can introduce the second generation of products, and it will stimulate a new consumer craze! "
Norio Ohga was satisfied with this answer. Furthermore, XP was still in the process of being updated. Although it was released five years ago, it was not outdated. After all, it was still the most used PC operating system.
This way, Norio Ohga's tablet will be closer to a laptop and not like Lenovo Group and Apple, which are more like smartphones.
Norio Ohga and Lenovo Group can use this to promote themselves and belittle other brands. Also, Norio Ohga is the first brand to introduce XP tablet. Unlike tablets, Microsoft users will surely fall in love with their products!
Norio Ohga must not let other companies snatch this opportunity. Norio Ohga knew that Toshiba, Panasonic, and a few other PC and mobile phone manufacturers were planning to introduce XP tablets.
Whoever can achieve this first will be able to maintain a good relationship with Microsoft, and they will be the first to benefit from Microsoft's new operating system and smartphone operating system!
"Very well, then let's hold a press conference tomorrow to launch our N-Pad!"
Sony is the first to introduce XP Tablet PC, and this news quickly spread throughout the IT industry. With the help of Microsoft, Intel, and other companies, Apple's popularity had overshadowed the iPad.
Of course, it was still impossible to overshadow L-PAD. After all, L-PAD's advertising campaign was too aggressive, and it had been promoted for a long time. It could be said to be deeply rooted in people's hearts.
Feng Yu did not expect Sony to be the first to introduce the XP tablet. Feng Yu thought Intel and Microsoft will work together to introduce it.
But it didn't matter. Seeing that it was an XP system, Feng Yu knew that this product wouldn't be popular.
Although XP is also a touchscreen, it is still the core of XP. How good can an XP system from five years ago be? Of course, some people who are used to using XP felt it was better. But comparing products is a big problem.
Whether it was in terms of speed or functionality, the XP system was already lagging behind. There was also a huge shortcoming, which was that it took up a lot of space.
If L-PAD is the evolved version of a smartphone, then Sony's N-Pad is a weaker version of a laptop. Both are developing in different directions.
XP's interface was nowhere near as good looking as HOS's. Not only did it look very old-fashioned, but it also used the most traditional boot music of XP. It instantly gave off a feeling of being outdated.
Lenovo Group had positioned L-PAD as a fashionable electronic entertainment product. Fashion and outdated cannot coexist. The pursuit of electronic products was continuous evolution in terms of performance. Apart from those enthusiasts who liked to collect, how many people would like old products?
Qiu Bojun knew that Sony had introduced XP tablets, and he was not worried. The most important thing was the software and applications.
Although most of the software is based on XP, many of the functions are outdated. Some of the software had not been upgraded, but the PCs that were installed with XP had low specs. Now, the hardware is upgraded every year. How can the PCs from five years ago be compared to the PCs now?
That's why many of the software under XP are outdated, and the number of people using it is getting lesser. Many software do not dare to upgrade too much, or else XP will run very slowly.
The software under HOS is different. When it was first developed, it was meant to be installed on a smartphone. That's why it takes up less space, and the functions are more direct.
Many of the software under XP are powerful and targeted at PCs. But because they are too powerful, they are not suitable on a tablet.
This tablet's specs cannot be compared to a real PC. You will die if you run these software on a tablet.
Many of the software under XP cannot run on the tablet! This is a big shortcoming. Furthermore, there are still many functions that have not been upgraded, and it is not smart enough.
Both hardware and software were developing rapidly. Nowadays, many software were upgrading their functions every year, or even every month. Even the simplest photo editing software had evolved so much.
The N-PAD's camera has higher pixels than the L-PAD. Sony's optical technology is very advanced, but it lacks many functions, and its performance is worse than the L-PAD.
But no matter what, XP Tablet is launched, and this is a signal. Many PC manufacturers and mobile phone manufacturers saw that XP could indeed be used on tablets.
Also, Microsoft announced that their new smartphone and tablet operating system will be introduced by next year. Many manufacturers are on Microsoft's side.
Among them, the Japanese manufacturers are the most influential. There are also a few Taiwanese companies, and a few European and US companies.
Moreover, several PC manufacturers also took the opportunity to announce that they would soon launch their own developed tablet computers, tablets with the XP system installed on them.
Feng Yu picked up the phone and called Masao Kameda. "Kameda, inform Heitaro Nakajima that AIWA's tablet can be introduced into the market!"
