With its purchase of Hitachi Global Storage Technologies (Hitachi GST), hard drive maker Western Digital (WDC) will pad its lead in the global hard disk drive (HDD) market, giving it nearly double the market share of the number two supplier Seagate Technology. With the purchase, WDC will claim 49.6% share of global HDD shipments based on fourth-quarter totals, compared to 29.4% for Seagate. This will give WDC a lead of 20.2 percentage points over Seagate, up from a mere two points without the acquisition.

The Hitachi purchase will allow WDC to enter the critical enterprise HDD segment. WDC currently is only a marginal player in the enterprise HDD market, with nearly all of its sales going instead to the market for consumer drives, an area that includes products like desktop and mobile PCs, set-top boxes and video game consoles. Of all of the major HDD suppliers, Western Digital in the fourth quarter of 2010 had the smallest share of any company’s total shipments going to the enterprise segment, at less than 1%. In comparison, 65% of Seagate’s HDD shipments and 27% of Hitachi GST’s shipments went to the enterprise market. (continuare…)

Facing strong competition from Apple’s iPad 2, notebook brand vendors pointed out that iPad 2′s low price of US$499 is leaving tablet PC models with relatively higher prices no room for survival and there are already 2-3 notebook brand vendors that plan to postpone their tablet PC model’s launch schedule until after they redesign the specifications and reduce the related costs, according to sources from notebook players.

The sources pointed out that the tablet PC war that was expected in April may turn out to played only by the iPad product line, since iPad 2 is lighter and thinner than the previous generation device and is faster and has even more features at the same price level than the previous model.

As for the first-generation iPad, Apple’s strategy of reducing its price to only US$399 has given its competitors strong pressure since most branded vendors do not yet have a model with such a price level that they can compete with.

Therefore, players are already working on rearrange their launch schedule and will delay the launch for another 1-2 months before they start selling; some models that were unveiled from before may even not appear in the channel.

The sources pointed out that tablet PCs will need to be priced below US$399 to have chance to enter the tablet PC battlefield, and none of the current Wintel or ARM/Android platform are capable of achieving such a price level. Therefore, the sources believe that non-iPad products achieving 20% of market share in 2011 would already be a great result for these players.

Although HTC has not yet made any official announcement about Flyer’s pricing, industry rumors indicate that the Flyer’s price will be around US$600, cheaper than Samsung’s Galaxy Tab’s US$650-900, but higher than Apple’s iPad 2′s US$499, the paper added.

Amid rumors that Apple is making adjustments in its iPad 2 design and is also facing issues over the device’s touch panel yields, sources from upstream component makers pointed out that the announcement of the iPad 2 is still expected to be in the second quarter, but mass production volumes are expected to drop. However, both Foxconn Electronics (Hon Hai Precision Industry) and Apple declined to comment on the rumors.

The sources pointed out that Apple still maintains its plans to mass produce the iPad 2 by the end of February; however, affected by low touch panel yields and an adjustment in specifications, Apple’s production volume forecast for the first quarter is expected to drop from 400,000-600,000 units originally to only 300,000-400,000 units.

Although most market watchers currently have strong concerns over Apple’s panel yields and supply stability, the sources pointed out that since Apple currently has LG Display, Samsung Electronics and Chimei Innolux (CMI) to backup its panel supply, the company is unlikely to delay its iPad 2 shipments because of the insufficient panel supply.

The sources pointed out that most upstream component makers still have not yet received notification from Apple to delay shipments; therefore they believe the mass production schedule is still as originally planned.

The sources pointed out that there were about 1-1.5 million units worth of iPad inventory in the channel in January and since Apple only ordered about 1.8-2 million iPads in January, it indicates that Apple is already set to phase out the first-generation iPad and let iPad 2 take its place. However, if iPad 2′s mass production does not go as expected, the channel may face strong inventory pressure.

First-tier notebook brand vendor Hewlett-Packard (HP) is set to start selling its WebOS 3.0-based tablet PC, TouchPad in April with shipments to start delivery by the end of March, according to sources from HP’s upstream component partners.

The sources pointed out that HP internally is aiming to ship 45-48 million notebooks and tablet PCs combined in 2011. After deducting the volume of HP’s notebook shipment forecast, HP’s TouchPad series product shipments in 2011 are forecasted to be around 4-5 million units.

Since HP has adopted panel that support 1024 by 768 with aspect ratio of 4:3 for its tablet PC, different from most of Android’s 16:10 design, the sources believe if HP fails to challenge Apple’s iPad, the company will have great difficulties to regain its pace in the tablet PC market in the future.

In addition to tablet PCs, HP is also expected to start coordinating its smartphone products with WebOS platform to allow the platform to function with the company’s different products

Apple

In order to achieve its internal goal of shipping 40 million iPad products in 2011, Apple has occupied close to 60% of the global touch panel capacity causing tight supply among Apple’s competitors, according to sources from upstream component makers.

Sources from tablet PC makers also pointed out that the component shortage is causing their shipment volumes to be unable to catch up with their orders, especially for second-tier players. Touch panels are currently suffering the most serious shortage due to Apple holding control over the capacity of major touch panel makers such as Wintek and TPK, and with US-based RIM, Motorola and Hewlett-Packard (HP) also competing for related components, second-tier players are already out of the game, the sources noted.

The sources pointed out that glass capacitive touch panels are the part that the second-tier players are unable to acquire, although thin-film capacitive touch panel makers are already capable of making their products fit onto tablet PCs, since thin-film technology still has obvious differences in terms of durability and feel compared to glass technology, despite that thin-film panels will still see demand from smartphones, tablet PCs are expected to be dominated by glass panels.

Sources from iPad distributors pointed out that in 2010, Apple’s order forecasts to its OEM partners were all high and the biggest problem on the supply side was not capacity, but low yields of touch panels. In 2011, Apple’s strategy of taking up most of the capacity should help the company quickly expand its sales, while reducing its competitors’ shipment growth.

Several notebook brands such as Samsung Electronics, Acer and HP have all started turning to smaller touch screen suppliers helping players such as Sintek Photronic, Egalax-empia Technology (EETI), AimCore Technology and J Touch to see increasing utilization. Samsung’s recent cooperation with Sintek was also meant to secure related supplies to avoid shortages ruining the vendor’s product plans.

Deals website Groupon Inc. appears to be making preparations to start operations in China, a move that could shake up the market for group buying, even though challenges lie ahead for the young U.S. company.

Chicago-based Groupon, which opened in 2008 selling discounted products and services from local merchants such as restaurants and nail salons, faces a huge Internet market that has confounded some of the world’s biggest players.

China has more than 450 million Internet users, more than any other country.

In a Beijing office adorned with a large Groupon sign, staff are conducting job interviews. A person in the office on Saturday said the company operates Gaopeng.com.

The website, which appears to come from a Chinese phrase meaning “cherished friend sitting around the table,” is listed as registered by someone at Internet giant Tencent Holdings Ltd., of Shenzhen, China, a 10 per cent stakeholder in Russian Internet firm Digital Sky Technologies, one of Groupon’s backers.

Groupon would be entering a market as hundreds of other domestically run websites are racing to take advantage of the growing popularity of group discounts on the Internet.

One China-based group-buying search engine, Tuan800.com, estimates transactions on such websites will surpass 16 billion yuan ($2.4-billion U.S.) this year.

Though well-established U.S. companies including Google Inc., Yahoo Inc. and eBay Inc. have opened sites here, Chinese companies such as Alibaba Group and Baidu Inc., with their limited international reach, dominate the market, which is fast-growing but tightly regulated.

Meanwhile, job listings for sales, marketing, finance and other staff for Groupon have been posted by headhunters on Chinese job and university sites in recent weeks.
