Streak tablet exits the US Dell targets windows8

If you want to know how difficult it is to produce a successful Android tablet —— then look at Dell. Recently, Dell announced that its Streak 7 Android tablet will be withdrawn from the US market. Although this product will still be available at foreign retailers, Dell's official website has now stopped selling.

 The lifecycle of mobile electronics is significantly shorter than notebooks and home computers. “The Dell spokesperson said: “We plan to offer new products in the future and focus on expanding our mobile solutions. According to the spokesperson, in August, Dell had stopped selling its 5-inch 3G tablet Streak 5 due to dismal sales, while the current Streak 7 will be in China and other regions. Continue to supply.

How long the Streak series of tablets can last is still an unknown issue. The Dell tablet and mobile device business sees China as a potentially huge market. In September of this year, Dell partnered with Baidu, China's largest search engine, to look forward to taking a slice of Android mobile devices in the world's fastest-growing market. With the signing of this agreement, Dell hopes to challenge Lenovo, which is currently the dominant player in the local market, and Apple, which is rapidly becoming popular in China.

The overall growth trend of Android devices is in full swing, but the Android tablet has been tepid. According to data released by ZDNet, as of July 2011, although the total number of Android handheld devices has exceeded 135 million, the sales of Android tablets have only reached one million. Apple's iPad has been sold up to 40 million units since its launch in 2010.

According to Electronia, Dell is likely to switch its tablet to Windows Phone 8 to compete with Android. But unfortunately, the tablet of this system is expected to be released at least until 2012. This is undoubtedly far-sighted for Dell's current position in the tablet market. The Dell spokesperson did not mention the plans for Windows tablets in detail, but said that they will not tie up with any tablet system, but will cooperate with the company that is willing to reinforce and support our wishes in the future.
