I was watching an Apple iPad television commercial the other day and it showed some killer applications and how they can be used to improve your life.
I believe that is the missing link in the Android tablet puzzle.
The real reason that Android tablets aren't keeping up with the iPad is that few compelling tablet applications exist. What Google and Android developers need to do is to develop applications that take advantage of the capabilities of the tablets that are out there. They need to go beyond Angry Birds and give us applications that provide the WOW factor that will move tablets.
Android also needs to address vertical markets. For example, Apple owns the music creation market. Android isn't even in the game. Why can't someone come up with an Android program similar to Garage Band? That would give musicians a reason to seriously consider Android.
The bottom line is: people do not buy hardware -- they buy solutions.
