NVIDIA’s CEO Blames Low Sales Of High-End Android Tabs On Their High Prices
If you’ve been regularly frequenting tablet related blogs recently you will have read about the poor sale figures of high-end Android tablet such as the Motorola Xoom. NVIDIA – a company that manufactures the dual-core Tegra 2 processors that most of these high-end Android tablets use – has had its CEO, Jen-Hsun Juang state his theory that the low sales figures are down to each tablet’s high price tags. With the iPad being the dominant device in the mobile computing market, coming out with cheaper Android models is the way to go according to the newly tattooed Juang (check out his new ink in the picture above – don’t forget to notice his flex either). To help you get a better picture of the sale ‘failures’, the Motorola Xoom – an Android Honeycomb, Tegra 2 processor tablet – according to analysts, sold 120,000 units at best and a mere 25,000 at worst. Bad-ass Juang also said that tablet makers should be focusing on affordable WiFi only slates and reminds everyone that there are still only a few Honeycomb apps out there.
