In no way should this news be surprising, but here it is anyway. It is being reported that the Nexus 9 demand in the world is so great that HTC is having to increase production capacity just to meet its targets. HTC North Asia president, Jack Tong, was interviewed by the Taipei Times yesterday and said that the Nexus 9’s incredible popularity with pre-orders has been a flow-on effect of the Nexus 7’s success. As the phablet market heats up, Tong says that HTC may be looking toward higher-end tablet models to help differentiate themselves as part of their greater strategy.
It’s small wonder that the Nexus 9 is so popular. Despite not being particularly competitively priced or even at times the best in class, it serves as an example of how good the next generation of Android tablets are going to be once they start being able to harness the 64-bit processors and unlock the wonders of Android Lollipop. It’s certainly a great time to be an Android tablet enthusiast as the Nexus 9 is spearheading the way for more tablets to follow in its wake, even as the market starts to make a slow decline.
