. – Against the backdrop of strong rivals, new Apple tablets must seduce a market much more saturated than in the beginning of the iPad. Although ABI Research believes that the bitten apple company has cornered 50% of sales revenue in the second quarter last tablets, Samsung , Amazon , Nokia , Google and Microsoft represent competition threatening. Especially since, in general, are offering more affordable devices with fairly comparable performance to iPads.

One major handicaps Apple technology are priced. Hence, the newly released tablets out a little cheaper than usual: from 479 euros (iPad Air) and 389 euros (Mini iPad Retina screen). On the other hand, the Cupertino company will lower the iPad Mini 289 first generation euros, which will become the cheapest iPad history.

As the great opponent of iPad Air -available starting November 2 in Spain could be the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (619 euros) for its high specifications. It’s also worth remembering Surface 2 of Microsoft (429 euros), recently premiered in Spain, the Google Nexus 10 (399 euros) or the first tablet Nokia , the Lumia 2520 (about 499 euros, when you reach the European market).

Retina display iPad Mini will be released in November – date to be specified, and must be hollow between two great rivals in Spain, for the moment. The main, especially for the price (229 euros), is Nexus 7 of Google , weighs less than the iPad and has a small screen similar resolution (323 pixels per inch). Then there’s the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 I have more difficult as it has weight, size and value similar (329 euros), but with less definition screen.
