Clash of Tablet Titans Plays Out In Video Game Like Interface of News Patterns

Our News Patterns algorithms take in huge volumes of news and social media to create animated visualizations of competitive situations in business, finance, politics and societal security.  Over time, the most relevant companies, ideas, products, and candidates win and hold a center position in our News Radars.  Patterns in our radar visualizations induce our member/users to interact with our visualizations and to click-through the patterns to discover the actual relevant news articles.


Presently, our patterns are watching the clash of major technology companies in the tablet ecosystem.  The Apple iPad has been the clear news pattern leader, which has directly correlated with Apple's sales and market dominance.  Yet, other technology companies want a piece of the Apple iPad action.   Check out our recent "video game" interface of 10,000 weekly news and blog signals about the tablet ecosystem.  Public Tablet News Radar Link



So far this week...
  • Microsoft introduces its Surface tablet, inducing a disruptive movement toward tablet radar center and iPad. "P"  Microsoft is displayed as Windows above. 
  • Google responds with buzz about its planned Nexus tablet. "S1"
  • Disruptive movement of Windows (as in Microsoft Surface tablet) has a positive effect on Intel and Ultrabook. "S2"
Note, not all introductions are disruptive.  Most fail to gain any competitive relevancy.

Over the next several weeks, competitive patterns will play out, determining whether Microsoft/Windows will sustain its challenge to Apple/iPad, and whether Google Nexus/Android will continue to be the number two competitor to Apple iPad.
