Tablet PC market regeneration variables

The iPad2 officially listed on the domestic market on May 6th still continues to read "myths" of Apple products. When the reporter visited the Guangzhou market, he learned that the iPad2 is currently available in Guangzhou's major apple authorized stores and Suning, Gome and other channels. Since the listed price is cheaper than the iPad1's starting price and the sales are even hotter, the week-long surge of buying has once again allowed the industry to witness the fanaticism of the "fruit powder."

Authorized stores sold for more than 100 units in half a day. Although the iPad2 on the domestic market was only the Wifi version, it was still sought after by the “fruit powder”.

“At most half a day, sales will be over 100 units. Inadequate staffing will require several colleagues from other stores to order bills and deliver goods,” said the manager of an authorized store in Guangzhou Bainaohui.

According to Miss Zhang, after the iPad 2 was released on May 6th in the country, she immediately booked on Apple's online store.

Square physical store purchases.

At present, Apple's online store's online booking service has resumed. The Information Times reporter learned that by calling the Apple 400 customer service, there is sufficient supply of iPad2 in the country.

In a Hanwang science and technology store, the staff member informed: “The minimum version of the e-book is only priced at 699 yuan, but the amount is still not moving.”

"In fact, by the iPad's 'low price' impact, the greater impact is the tablet computer products." A tablet dealer on the first floor of the Guangzhou Bainaohui stated that before the iPad 2 was listed, the industry generally believed that its price should be iPad1 remains the same, that is, starting at a minimum of 3,988 yuan. However, surprisingly, the lowest price for iPad2 is a nationwide unit price of 3,688 yuan for the 16GB version.
