APPLE tablet computers will dominate the global market in 2010 until 2012 because of the difficulty to match competitors' iPad. Specifically for 2010, iPad estimated global market share of at least 84 percent.

Aggressiveness consumers in adopting iPad tablet computers encourage the production of Apple Inc. Apple's competitors to build products serupa.Tidak want to lose market share in the global tablet, Apple iPad also boost production volume. Disclose research firm iSuppli Corp., a global sales volume exceeded estimates iPad shot up. In April 2010, iSuppli estimates that global sales volume iPad in 2010 will reach 7.1 million units.

However, because Apple was able to sell three units also iPad in just 80 days after first launching iPad in the United States on April 3, 2010, iSuppli is now forced to revise up the global sales forecasts for 2010 iPad. ISuppli is the latest estimate of global sales volume iPad in 2010 will reach at least 12.9 million units.

"Apple has boosted production volumes iPad.Karena it, iSuppli had to publish this revision," said iSuppli Corp. Director, Monitor Research Rhoda Alexander.

iSuppli asserted, how many million units are able to produce any Apple iPad in every month, then the tablets will still be sold. However, iSuppli found, iPad production capacity will remain limited in 2010 due to limited supply of components, especially the LCD panel and NAND type flash memory.

"At this point, the main pengganjal iPad global sales volume growth in 2010 is production, not demand. Apple iPad production was tightly controlled to maintain the quality, so can not use any components from suppliers new," said Alexander.

Harmony with iSuppli, a research firm ABI (Allied Business Intelligence) Research Inc. also revised estimates. ABI Research predicts, sales volume of global tablet computers in general in 2010 will reach at least 11 million units.

"Estimates are based ABI Research expanded distribution area iPad in 2010," said Principal Analyst, ABI Research Inc. Jeff Orr. However, ABI Research does not publish estimates for the global sales volume in 2010 iPad. At this time, iPad is available in more negara.Mulai July 23, 2010, Apple began marketing the iPad in Austria, Belgium, Hong Kong, Ireland, Luxembourg, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, and Singapore.

Previously, new iPad marketed in the United States, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, Switzerland, and England. Because iSuppli and ABI Research has revised the estimate, another research firm is expected to take similar steps. However, the research firm International Data Corp. (IDC) is still holding on to the old estimates, published in May 2010. IDC estimates that global sales volume of tablet computers in 2010 will reach 7.6 million units, and it jumped to more than 46 million units in 2014, aka the average grow 57.4% annually from 2010 until 2014.

"IDC estimates that consumer demand for tablet computers will be soaring because of high population and diversity are encouraged third-party applications for content and services," said Program Director, Digital Media & Entertainment Mobile Marketplace IDC Susan Kevorkian.

Thanks to successful iPad, iSuppli believes Apple will be able to acquire at least 84 per cent share in the tablet PC market globally in 2010. iSuppli predicts Apple will still dominate global tablet computer market until 2012 because of the difficulty pursuing iPad competitors. iSuppli explains, is very difficult iPad 'traced' by competitors because the iPad has components and unique design.

For example, Apple iPad equip with a special processor, namely processor A4, which are designed PA Semi Inc. iPad mastering processor A4 exclusive support for Apple acquired PA Semi in 2008 valued at USD278 million. With the support processor A4, iPad be difficult to surpass. Because the processor is able to present a balance A4 computing power and energy consumption. In the market, iSuppli believes, at this moment there are no processors that are able to present such A4 balance. As a result, competitors must use the netbook processor or processors to build a smartphone iPad tablet computer class. But the risk, netbook processor while the processor is too wasteful of energy smartphone has a computing power is too low.

"Processors iPad is not a netbook processor. Even when compared to the popular netbook processor like Atom production of Intel Corp., processor used iPad A4 has a dimension much smaller," explained Director & Principal Analyst, iSuppli Teardown Services Corp. Andrew Rassweiler.

If a competitor forced myself to build computers using processor netbook tablet, then the dimension of the tablet computer has become too fat and the batteries run out quickly.

Conversely, if a competitor uses your smartphone processor, the tablet computer performance becomes too low, even though more energy efficient. However, iPad advantage lies not just in the processor. iSuppli believes, are successful because Apple iPad tablet computers are built with a revolutionary design. iSuppli explained, during this time, electronic products are always designed in the same way, that is design-centric oriented motherboard.

With this approach, producers prefer the circuits and semiconductors, and then wrap the components with the user-interface (UI) such as keyboards and displays. "At the iPad, Apple is still growing traditional motherboards. But, iPad not designed with motherboards-centric approach. At the iPad, Apple would prefer an approach that focuses on the UI," said President & Chief Executive Officer Derek Lidow iSuppli Corp.
