Dell will launch 10 inch tablet in China first
Dell’s new Android tablet, the Streak 10 Pro, will launch in China this summer, with launches in Europe and the US to be announced in the second half of 2011.
The tablet market in China is growing in significance, a fact reflected by the decision to aim the Streak 10 Pro at Chinese “prosumers” before unveiling it elsewhere. Dell’s sales in the country grew by 22 per cent in the first quarter, according to Reuters.
In a corporate blog post published yesterday, Dell’s President of Greater China and South Asia, Amit Midha, wrote: “We’re currently number 2 in the Chinese PC market and we’re seeing a significant increase in the number of small- and medium-business users, who are adopting mobility products as part of their growth plans.
“The end product delivered in China will be significantly different to what would be delivered in many other countries”, he added.
