“Dell Inc has chosen to launch its new 10-inch Android tablet in China this summer, passing up on a U.S., Europe launch, as China emerges as a front line battle for tablets,” Melanie Lee reports for Reuters.
“The tablet named ‘Streak 10 Pro’ will target Chinese ‘prosumers,’ a term used to describe advanced-level consumers, Amit Midha, Dell’s President of Greater China and South Asia, said on a corporate blog on Thursday,” Lee reports. “Dell, which is also working on a Windows 7-based tablet for enterprise customers due later this year, will evaluate launches of the Android tablet in other regions in the second half of the year, he said.”
“By launching the Android tablet in China, Dell hopes to give more time to developers to develop applications for the device as China blocks some Google applications and the Android Market is not yet available,” Lee reports. “The tablet market is currently dominated by Apple Inc’s iPads, Samsung Electronics and Motorola Mobility Holdings tablets.”
