Hasta La Gadget!

I know that the HTC One is far from being a tablet, but rather, it happens to be a flagship smartphone that has picked up its fair share of bouquets in the past months since it was released. Still, it has proven itself to be quite an inspiration to other device manufacturers. Case in point – the Ramos K1 that is all set for a China release. While it was supposedly meant to roll out in the world’s most populous country earlier this month, somehow it was delayed without any prior notice, so we are still playing the waiting game here. From what we know and have seen, it looks like a clone of the HTC One from certain angles, just that this is a tablet version,

The Ramos K1 will arrive with a 7.9” display which would place it on par with the iPad mini where its screen size is concerned, accompanied by a set of stereo speakers that are located on the front of the device, albeit it would miss the Beats Audio feature, of course. Apart from that, you will also find cameras in front as well as at the back, with a massive 5,500mAh battery powering it. Do you think that the Ramos K1 will do well domestically?

It’s been a long, long while since we last heard about RAmos ’round here, but that doesn’t mean the Chinese company isn’t trying to remain relevant in the electronics game. As such, we’re more than happy to tell you about the outfit’s newest Android slate, the 9.4-inch RAmos W42, which is powered by a wallop of Ice Cream Sandwich, Mali-400 GPU and a Samsung-made quad-core processor — more specifically, it’s the Exynos 4412. Other tablet specs include a not-too-shabby 1,280 x 800 IPS display, 1GB RAM, 16GB of built-in storage (expandable by way of microSD) and the now-accustomed front and rear cameras. The W42 appears to be up for grabs at e-tailers like the one linked below for about 200 bucks — now, with some great options around that same price, only time will tell whether or not folks are tempted by this very one.

We’re used to seeing tablet market share illustrated on the world stage. China, however, has usually been untouched. Analysys International has taken a crack at decoding the market and has bucked a few expectations in the process: according to its estimates, the iPad’s lead is even larger in China than it is worldwide. About 72.7 percent of all tablets sold in the country during the second quarter were Apple-flavored, while homegrown hero Lenovo was a distant second at 8.4 percent. Everyone else had to contend with less than four percent and reflected the more diverse Chinese technology sphere — relative heavyweights like Acer, ASUS and Samsung had to hob-nob with brands that have little recognition elsewhere, such as Eben and Teclast.

The researchers credit Apple’s lead, a 7.8-point gain, to a combination of the new iPad and a price-cut iPad 2. We’d add that Analysys’ figures might not tell the whole story, though: China is well-known for its thriving shanzhai market, where legions of KIRFs and very small (usually Android-based) brands likely slip under an analyst group’s radar. That said, it’s still an illustration of how Apple’s influence in tablets is a distinct reversal of its much smaller smartphone share, even in a nation that’s a hotbed of Android activity.
