Sales of the first Android Honeycomb tablet, the Motorola Xoom, have not
been impressive when compared with those of the iPad. Though Motorola
claimed in late April that Xoom shipments hit 250,000, that number is far
lower than the total being enjoyed by market leader Apple, which sold about
1 million iPad 2 tablets in the first weekend of sales alone.
During an earnings conference call, Sanjay Jha, CEO of Motorola Mobility,
articulated part of the problem, saying, "Consumers want more apps for
Android tablets."
That's not the whole story, according to Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang, who I
chatted with on Thursday. Nvidia's Tegra 2 is the core piece of silicon
inside Honeycomb tablets, including the Xoom and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1
.
"It's a point of sales problem. It's an expertise at retail problem. It's a
marketing problem to consumers. It is a price point problem," he said, for
starters.
Though Huang didn't mention the $499 starting price for the iPad, it was
clear that this was a reference point. "The baseline configuration included
3G when it shouldn't have," he said. "Tablets should have a Wi-Fi
configuration and be more affordable. And those are the ones that were
selling more rapidly than the 3G and fully configured ones," he said. | S******4

弱点也很明显：1）价格 2）APP
MOTOROLA Mobility有点贪，价格虚高；Marketing做的也差。
