In the two Intel powered hybrid devices, one is consumer device and the other one is for enterprise customers. Both devices are powered by Intel first 32nm dual-core Atom processor Clover Trail,. The third Windows 8 tablet computer is armed with Qualcomm processor.

DisplaySearch analyst Richard Shim said he was aware that Hewlett-Packard is developing one Windows 8 Tablet PC, and this product is equipped with a resolution of 1366X768 pixel 10.1-inch display. It will be launched on this July.

This is one guest article from Kreg Snit, founder of best iPad Converter Soft.

According to the data from IHS, in the fourth quarter of 2011, Amazon shipped 3.9 million Kindle Fire tablet computer, taking 14.3% global market share, becoming No.2 tablet computer manufactuer. However, I personally was not optimistic about Kindle Fire.

Digitimes Research forecasts in Q1/2012, global tablet computer shipment will reach 14.97 million, while only 1.5 million Amazon Kindle Fire. In Q1, Apple will release iPad 3. TechBargains.com latest survey results show that nearly 50 percent of U.S. consumers will buy Apple’s new iPad. More than half who already bought Kind Fire said they would buy iPad 3. Many users complained about the poor experience and lamed performance of Kindle Fire. With the release of iPad 3, Apple will lower the sold price of iPad 2, which again worsen Kindle Fire’s marketing conditions.

One survey done by ChangeWave Research shows only two percent of respondents want to buy Kindle Fire, and about 10% of respondents said they might buy Kindle Fire. While in last December, the respective number is 4% and 13%. It means people are losing interest in Kind Fire.

The most terrible thing is Amazon Prime subscriber growth did not meet the expectation of analysts. The reason KIndle Fire can use low price strategy is because Amazon hopes to attract more users to become a Gold service users, so they can gain future earnings to compensate the lower price of Kindle Fire, But now, it seemed that Amazon failed.

In summary, I am the future of the Amazon the Kind Fire market performance is not optimistic.

Barnes & Noble just released 8GB Nook Tablet PC, which is only $199. As I said before, this 8GB Nook tablet is to beat Amazon Kindle Fire. This tablet has 8GB storage space with microSD so users can expand the storage capability. And the memory is only 512MB, half of original Nook tablet.

Obviously, Barnes & Noble hopes to grab the market share of Kind Fire. But the lower configuration may reduce the user experience so I would say it’s one risky movement.

Digitimes Research predicted that in Q1 of 2012, global Tablet PC sales will be 14.97 million units, 30.6% lower compared with Q4/2011. Digitimes Research says, the shipment of iPad 2 and iPad 3 will be 11 million units, while the other Tablet PC shipment will be 3.97 million units, of which Kindle Fire and Nook Tablet PC shipments were 1.5 million and 30 million units respectively.

13.3% will use TI chip and 26.3% will use Android system.

Barnes & Noble may introduce one 8GB Nook tablet computer today. Though Nook sales has increased 70% in Christmas season, while compared with Kindle Fire, its sold price is still 50$ more, so it’s not strange that Nook is trying to launch a cheaper tablet computer. This cheaper tablet computer will have only 8GB storage capacity and the sold price may be 199$, lower than Amazon Kindle Fire.

Compared with Barnes & Noble, Amazon Kindle Fire sales grew 177% in Christmas season.
