GOME's second-generation tablet quietly listed

Just three months after GOME's first-generation tablet PCs hit the market, GOME's second-generation tablet PCs flew quietly in Shanghai in the past few days. The reporter learned that GOME's first-generation tablet PCs were reported to be slow to use, often crashed, and the market feedback was not good, but the performance of the second-generation tablet PCs has improved significantly. The industry believes that "the prospects should be good."

The second generation of flying touch is quietly listed

A source told reporters that Gome's second generation of flying touch tablet PCs are available at Gome Zhongrong, located on Pudong South Road. The reporter went to Pudong South Road before September 27 and discovered that the GOME Zhongrong shop has been completely removed. After a hard search, the reporter discovered the Flytouch of the second-generation tablet PC in the new living museum of Yongle Electric Co., Ltd. near the original GOME Zhongrong Store.

Yongle Electric sales staff told reporters: "The second generation of flying touch sale on September 20, limited sales of 50 units, sold out the same day. If you want to buy, then wait until eleven, and eleven will enter a shipment. The reporter also learned that the second generation of flying touch tablet computers is only sold in the store, and there is no large-scale listing yet. "I don't know when it will go public," the staff said.

It is understood that on September 20 the sale of the United States the second generation of flying touch tablet computer price is 1999 yuan, the first product screen size 10 inches. Li Yi, a senior consumer observer for consumer electronics in China, revealed to reporters that according to his actual use of the second-generation flying touch tablet computer prototype, the configuration is ARM11 1G CPU, 256M memory, 10 inch capacitive screen, 3800mAh battery, dual USB dual TF card interface , HDMI video interface, built-in hardware GPS, support for remote network system updates.

Discard VIA chip performance upgrade

After GOME's first generation of flying touch tablet computers were introduced at the end of June, the market response was not good. And its biggest flaw lies in the adoption of VIA's 8055+ solution. The processor's clock speed is only 400MHz. "This program can also be used to make MP4. It can be used as a tablet computer. The frequency is too low, the processing speed is too slow, and the HD video is not. The law is playing normally, and the internet speed is also very slow.” Li Yi told reporters. “The heat is also very poor and often crashes. Obviously, it is still an unstable solution.”

Li Yi also stated that the fundamental reason for the failure of Gome’s first-generation flying tablet computers was that product selection was too hasty. “The first generation of flying touch tablet computers took only one month to negotiate and clapperboard. Gome executives did not even visit the factory. ". The core of the second generation of flying touch tablets is based on the ARM11 architecture of 1G CPU, Android 2.1 operating system, true multi-touch capacitive screen, all aspects of performance have been greatly improved.

At present, there are very few domestic manufacturers that introduce tablet computers. In addition to Gome, only the Great Wall and Hanwang have launched available products on the market. Other mainstream PC manufacturers such as Lenovo, Founder, Tongfang and Haier are in the laboratory stage. Prices for imported products such as the iPad are too high. “Gome's launch of the second generation of tablet PCs means that it will continue to lead the domestic tablet PC market. From the aspect of product configuration and performance, there is still a certain advantage. I personally estimate that the market outlook should be good,” said Li Yi.

He also compared the Tablet PC GPad launched by the Great Wall, the price is also 1999 yuan, Gome second-generation fly touch using 1G CPU, Great Wall GPad using 720MHz CPU; Gome second-generation fly touch using 10-inch capacitive screen, and the Great Wall GPad used Is a 7-inch resistive screen. At least from the configuration point of view, Gome's second-generation flying touch has an absolute advantage.

However, there are also different voices. Lu Jiebo, deputy secretary-general of the China Electronic Chamber of Commerce, said that although the quality and performance of the second-generation products of GOME FLY touch tablet PCs have been improved after some upgrades, it is difficult to change their “unprofessional” characteristics. Therefore, the second-generation tablet will also fail.
