Everyone is trying to compete with Apple, but can you blame them? Apple's manufacturing hand is like Midas' gold touch. But of course, competition is good, and now LG is trying to get into the game with a tablet that will supposedly beat the iPad.
LG's first tablet, the Optimus, will run Android OS, and its marketing will focus on the ability to create content, rather than display it. Chang Ma, vice president of marketing for LG's mobile devices, says "Our tablet will be better than the iPad."
Ma says the tablet will focus on creation and productivity, but doesn't seem to recognize that the iPad itself is a great device for creation and productivity. And, unless LG can show solid plans for superior hardware and give us more than just a vague promise of "high-end features and new benefits," we're not convinced that we should even consider this a competitor to the iPad.
