Sony's XP tablet is sold in Japan and North America, and many manufacturers see another direction. They don't need to produce HOS tablet. If the HOS tablet alliance does not allow them to join, they don't want to join!
At the same time, Lancia, which is focusing on the Symbian operating system, is also upgrading its products. They want to introduce a Symbian operating system tablet in the future. With Lancia's technologies, they can replicate this strategy. After all, Lancia is the market leader in Europe's mobile phone market.
After the introduction of Sony's tablet, Toshiba, Panasonic, Asus, Acer, Samsung, and many other manufacturers announced that they will introduce Windows XP tablets. They realized that it is easier to upgrade from a laptop to a tablet than from a smartphone. At least, it is suitable for PC manufacturers like them.
The company that Feng Yu did not expect was Thomson Company. This company was suffering high losses and had lost many important allies. Now, they still want to develop a new product. They are trying to increase their profits.
But when Feng Yu saw Thomson is going to introduce an XP tablet, he knew this company is hopeless. They had chosen the wrong path again. If XP is suitable, Lenovo Group will not be the first to develop a tablet.
Apple can think of this idea, but other companies' designers can't think of it. They felt this product is flashy, and that's why they did not develop it.
Many electronics and home appliance manufacturers held a press conference. During this period, the IT media and business media reported on this. But no media can deny that Lenovo Group's products are the pioneers.
At this time, Aiwa announced that they will introduce HOS tablet. They will be selling it in Japan and some other Southeast Asian markets.
This is different from the other manufacturers. Aiwa took out a sample tablet, and other than the exterior, the interior design is almost the same as the L-PAD. Feng Yu had optimized the sound system to maintain AIWA's signature sound system. Feng Yu had also installed a few music and game software into the system.
Just when everyone was sighing at Aiwa's fast response, Aiwa announced that everyone will be able to purchase it from their retail stores and official website tomorrow. This means that Aiwa had already started production.
After that, Taihua Holdings announced that its Wind and Rain brand and Aiwa brand had completed their development and will be introduced into the market. Aiwa will be marketed in Hua Xia and Southeast Asia, and Wind and Rain will be marketed in Europe and the US.
This speed once again made the other manufacturers understand that this was simply a set of technology. Maybe Wind and rain, Aiwa, etc. had some simple upgrades, but compared to the L-Pad, there were not many changes.
Moreover, these were all Feng Yu's brands, so they belonged to the left hand over the right hand. Feng Yu was obviously planning to occupy this market faster through more brands, so as to maintain the largest market share and to avoid a monopoly to a certain extent.
But in reality, didn't Feng Yu earn all the profits?
Soon, other brands appeared in the Hua Xia market. These brands had nothing to do with Feng Yu. These were all electronic brands from Hua Xia. Some were state-owned, some were joint ventures, and some were private companies.
These companies were also members of the HOS alliance. They could not get the authorization from Lenovo Group and had to simplify their products.
The functions of their tablets were not as good as the Wind and Rain S4. But on the exterior, it looked exactly like a tablet.
However, they used cheaper materials, such as plastic shells, ordinary batteries, reduced storage space, reduced core performance, and so on.
Of course, their products were selling at a cheaper price. It was about the same price as a netbook, and it was much cheaper than the L-Pad.
Feng Yu did not expect these domestic manufacturers to become imitations again.
They had good engineers, developers, and designers, but they only focused on the short-term profits and did not consider the long term. Lack of funds was just an excuse. If they did not have enough funds, they could look for venture capital or investment from the higher-ups.
To Feng Yu, this was a mistake on the management's part!
This way, it would be hard for them to change their image as imitations. If they could not make a name for themselves, then their technologies must be much better than other manufacturers to be recognized by the consumers.
It was already difficult for them to catch up with other manufacturers' technologies. How is it possible for them to be better than others? The other manufacturers had more funds, and why would they give these small manufacturers a chance?
Feng Yu even felt the higher-ups should be responsible for this. If the higher-ups could get involved and bring these companies together, they might be able to come up with an outstanding product.
But these companies were under different governments, and the local governments were more concerned about the short-term profits. If they can make money now, it will be a political achievement for them. If they can only make money 5 years later, who knows if they will still be working here in 5 years' time.
Although their profits were low now, it was fine as long as they could make money. If they don't have the money, they can look for the government to invest. The government does not have the money, and they can get loans. It will be best if they can get listed.
To many government leaders, a listed company is a big company. Even if your company does not lack funds, they will still urge you to get listed. This is a political achievement.
They don't care if getting listed is suitable for the company. Anyway, the company's market value is high, and they will be in the limelight. Some companies did not meet the criteria to get listed, but the government leaders would still help them to get listed.
Just like that, going public became a way to make money, completely abandoning the original purpose of going public to expand the company's scale and better development.
But Feng Yu could not be bothered with these. Anyway, Lenovo, Wind and Rain brands were suppressing these imitations, and those imitations will not have a chance to grow.
These imitations specialize in low-cost imitations, and this will highlight Lenovo's and other brands' performance. This will increase the consumers' impression of Lenovo and other brands.
Even if these companies do not develop well in the future, it doesn't matter to Feng Yu. These factories' workers were easy to find jobs. After all, the industry is still growing, and the demand for workers will increase.
Less than half a month after Sony introduced the tablet, more than a dozen tablets appeared in the market. Two-thirds of the tablets were HOS, and one-third were XP.
There were more advertisements for tablets on TV and other media. It was even more than laptop and mobile phone advertisements. All the major manufacturers were fighting for this market, and no one was willing to give in.
The tablet computer market had entered an era of blossoming flowers.
