Nvidia CEO: Why Android tablets aren’t selling
This is my personal opinion here, but I gotta say the price is the biggest killer. The Asus Eee Pad Transformer Tablet is a good example of a Price vs Performance tablet in the Android market that has it right, except that marketing isn’t going to bring it into the mainstream audiences’ hands.
Nvidia’s CEO is not pleased with the cool reception Android tablets have gotten so far. And he expressed frustration over marketing gaffes in an interview with CNET earlier this week.
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.
