Competition

Competition

Dell has somehow taken a smart step by launching both Android and Windows tablet at the same time in the market. Also the price of the tablets are pretty attractive except the Windows running tablets. However, from the specs and pricing of the new Dell tablets, competition for Samsung, Lenovo and even Asus will be tough. Especially Asus FonePad, Galaxy Tab will be highly dominated with these new tablet line-up from Dell.
