NVIDIA CEO: Why Android tablet "Waist wet "?

The tablet PC line Android 3.0 (Honeycomb), despite the good start with many forecasting potential but the producers did not know about retailers should have missed the opportunity to "avail" to rival Apple's iPad .
 NVIDIA CEO - Jen-Hsun Huang - thus commented on CNet. Processor Nvidia Tegra 2 is the core of the tablet inside the Honeycomb, such as Xoom, Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1.
According to him, manufacturers of computer table Android 3.0 pioneers, such as Asus, Dell, LG, and Motorola does not seem to understand how to sell through retail channels tablet. Huang emphasized the policy because of good price, effective marketing channels and retail experience has helped Apple iPad success. And, also these factors have affected the opportunity to "freeze" of the new tablet PC, Motorola Xoom is typical of the mistakes in a row.
Configuration, Xoom should not be integrated 3G chip and at least 800 USD price through the Verizon network as well as a challenge. "The tablet should only use Wi-Fi and affordable. Two main factors are the new "levers" to help sell more tablet is 3G and powerful configuration. "
Many manufacturers tablet Android, including LG, Motorola and Samsung, was originally expected to succeed with a tablet sold through carriers like to do with smartphones. LG G-Slate, Xoom Motorola, and Samsung Galaxy Tab 3G versions are starting price is more expensive than Wi-Fi iPad. Xoom even cost more than 3GB 32GB iPad, therefore, can hardly compete with blockbuster for Apple.
   Moreover, closely linked to the carrier for delivery, even without using the service contracts, has resulted in limited retail and personal users "frustrated" because the ideas have to pay monthly service fee.
Acer, ASUS, Motorola, and Samsung has overcome the problem of pricing and distribution of the released version of WiFi. However, the lack of specific retail channels, such as Tablet Center - still a big problem for the company to compete with other competitors. Apple has received special attention, even in major retail channels, such as Best Buy.
According to Huang, tablet problem that Android 3.0, "poor" sales is the limited application. "Although launched nearly three months, but Android 3.0 is only a few dozen applications optimized. Meanwhile, the iPad the village with more than 1,000 applications, and currently has more than 65,000 proprietary programs.
Sales of the first tablet Honeycomb - Motorola Xoom - can not "catch up" iPad. Last April, Motorola has announced it has shipped 250,000 Xoom, lower than the total sales of the iPad, with an iPad 2 million sold in just two days last week came out.
