An unprecedented lack of barriers to entry into tablet computer development makes the revolutionary mobile devices the ideal entry point into the rapidly growing global wireless communications market for On the Move Systems Corp. (otcqb:OMVS), said CEO Patrick Brown on Tuesday.
“Barriers to entry” are the hurdles companies have to overcome to compete in a new industry. For tablet developers, those hurdles are few and far between.
“Tablet computers lack most of the barriers to entry faced by notebook or smartphone developers,” Brown said. “Notebook developers have to pay very high software license fees to install Windows and other popular programs on their machines. Smartphone developers have to cut a deal with at least one major wireless provider in order to make their devices work. None of that applies to the tablet industry.
“The most popular software for tablet computers is open-source, and the only network necessary is Wi-Fi,” Brown added. “All OMVS has to do is wrap cutting-edge hardware, user-friendly software and Wi-Fi functionality together in a sleek, sophisticated package to become a real player in the tablet computer market, and that’s exactly what we plan on doing.”
Currently, the tablet computer market is dominated by Apple. Competitors such as HTC, Samsung and RIM have failed to wrest market share away from the iPad developers. Hardly a deterrent, the lack of strong competitors to Apple presents a major opportunity for emerging players in the tablet market such as OMVS, Brown said.
“Today, even large technology companies are gaining very little traction in chasing Apple,” he said. “Emerging companies like us have an unprecedented opportunity to create a product that outshines those of HP, Dell and Toshiba in order to capture early market share in an industry poised for unbelievable growth.
“There’s no doubt that a serious contender to the iPad will rise to the top of the heap, and OMVS has just as much chance to create that product as the billion-dollar corporations,” Brown added. “We have every intention of capitalizing on that opportunity.”
OMVS is currently negotiating a new partnership with the electronics developer Noitavonne, makers of the Loop Tablet computer.
