As reported by the Associated Press on Sunday (13 / 3), competitors will be judged not to compete with the iPad has excellent quality with relatively low price. Just look like Archos tablet computer that sold for 370 dollars but the touch screen less okay. Meanwhile, another competitor, Motorola Xoom output, has a quality almost as good as the iPad. However, the Motorola was not able to win the competition in terms of price. Motorolla Xoom are sold at twice the price of the iPad, which is about 800 dollars per unit.
There's a reason why iPad comes with a price so competitive. Analysts said Apple has several advantages that put its rivals lagging far behind. This was due to direct distribution channels adopted the Apple. By selling one third of the total production directly to consumers via its website, Apple could push prices to a minimum.
Another thing is that the iPad has the same chip with other Apple products like iPhone and iPad. As a result, Apple can mass-produce the chip which in turn is also cutting costs. by: liputan6(Yus)
