Samsung "7 8 9 10" Android Tablet Strategy

Recently Samsung reveal a 7, 8.9 and 10.1 inch Android based tablet. Aimed at consumer and business professionals, these new tablets  designed to be thinner, sleeker, and more powerful than before. As an "added plus", Samsung price it at a price range that is comparable to the iPad too!

Seems this could be an exciting start in the Android camp. 

• Google -- as it traditionally has been -- continue enhancing the base OS, 
• Consumer and mass hardware manufacturer such as Samsung (and many others) enhancing the hardware -- which eventually could become better and better (yet at the same time: cheaper and cheaper), 
• While -- as we share recently -- at the same time: Amazon.com perfecting the choices, experience selection and application purchasing method through its Amazon.com Android App Store.

Very interesting development, which worth a deeper look and a more long-term consideration.

Amazon.com's Android AppStore is now available!

Now Amazon.com provide an online store for Android applications. With such: people that has Android-based smartphone and tablet devices would be able to buy and shop their favorite Android applications online -- on Amazon.

This is truly brilliant! This could be a start of something big too. Jeff Bezos' action, innovation and idea -- as always -- is truly awesome!

I guess we're indeed entering the very exciting "beginning" of a "Post-PC" era

Since the era of the web begin, no longer consumer wants to be distracted by clunky interfaces, complex processes nor difficult to manage "systems". Replacing those, they want a simple, easy to use and a very intuitive user interface and integrated processes that makes getting things done convenient and fast.

In the past, such was "enforced" by new genre of applications that uses the browser as its front-end. Web applications was sleeker, simpler, fast, easier to use; at the same time they are also easy and friendly. Nobody need to go to training to use google, everybody immediately instinctively understand how to use Amazon.com, and many other examples. These new "genre" of technology are simply there, ready to be accessed, and very easy to use.

Today, such trend was accentuated even more by the birth and introduction of "integrated appliance or devices" that makes the whole experience and its associated "super advanced" component, element and processes even more reachable, seamless, intuitive and easy.

People call such new paradigm the beginning of a "Post-PC" era. In my view and experience, it marks a new exciting world, time and beginning where mediocre interfaces and processes will remarkably becoming no longer acceptable; while at the same time a seamlessly easy, integrated and superb one becoming "naturally expected" since day 1.

Within such world, I guess those "traditional" players that still persisting in "crafting up those silly, clunky and unintuitive so-so solution" will be eventually wiped out, less favored, or "being left behind". It might eventually becoming a new "normal" that to get more and more people to be able to use information technology, it is the "technology" itself that shall get more and more human, instead of the "human" shall get more and more "I.T-nerdy" as it was in the past.

What a truly exciting time, moment and era to be "revealed". For sure it will change the "feel", "look" and "definition" of "I.T systems" as people "knew today" or "into the future", for years to come!
