US$250 Tablets on Amazon – How 7” Tablets Trend means they’ll be your Christmas Gift

It’s coming up to Christmas folks and Tablets are now the gift of choice. Not like last year when it was smartphones as noted in my blog article entitled “Jamaicans falls in love with Digicel's DL600 and DL700 during Christmas 2013 - Sub-US$100 smartphones driving rapid smartphone adoption in Jamaica as Manufacturing is Possible”.

Plus globally, with the trend towards super sized smartphones, a trend even the 5.5” Apple iPhone 6 Plus is following as noted in my Geezam blog article entitled “Apple iPhone 6 and Plus with 128GB Storage and Apple Pay is Biggest iPhone Launch”.

Despite the strong statistical evidence, I’m still thinking this phablet trend is just a fad that’ll fade once people realize that these smartphones are a tad unwieldy as noted in my blog article entitled “IDC and NPD Group record Tablet Decline and Phablet Rise - “White Box” Chinese Tablets and Wearable Computing in First Quarter of 2014 making Tablets obsolete in the Year of the Sheep”.




So is there a 7” Tablet in your future, especially now that cheaper Chinese Tablets running Google Android are on the rise. Good to note that these are all 7” Tablets, a trend that Apple has also jumped onto back in 2012 when the Amazon Fire Tablet challenged their Tablet supremacy as concluded in my Geezam blog article entitled “The Two Towers of Tablets, 7” Amazon Kindle Fire and 7.9” Apple iPad are the Global Tablet size of Choice”.

All are available on Amazon at prices well below US$250. All of the Tablets are brand name Tablets Running Google Android Jellybean or KitKat, which should allay any fear people have about Fragmentation as noted in my Geezam blog article entitled “ Android KitKat beats Jellybean in the Fragmented World of Android smartphones”.
