Stung badly by soaring sales of foreign-made smartphones and tablets, Japan's electronics makers are fighting back with a bevy of hi-tech tablets they hopes will turn the tables on the dominant Apple iPad. 受到国外制造的智能手机和平板电脑销量一路飙升的严重刺激，日本的电子产品制造商们推出了一批高科技平板电脑，试图收复失地。他们希望借此扭转苹果（Apple）iPad一统天下的局面。 Sony (SNE) is setting its hopes on the svelte, bantam-weight, waterproof Xperia Tablet Z. It aims to duplicate the success of the popular smartphone of the same name, says the firm. 索尼公司（Sony）将复兴大业的希望寄托在了极致轻薄防水的Xperia Z平板电脑上。与这款平板电脑同名的Xperia Z手机在市场上反响不错，索尼希望Xperia Z平板电脑也能复制成功。 Panasonic (PC), meanwhile, is hitching its star to a tablet with so-called 4K technology that it claims displays images at four times greater resolution than existing high-definition resolutions. Both are aimed at the premium end of the tablet spectrum, where Japan tablet makers expect to find their niche. At around $500, the Z's price is steep compared to other tablets on the market but could set new standards for competitors, say analysts. Sony claims its Xperia Tablet Z is the world's slimmest tablet, and Japan's lightest. 而与此同时，松下公司（Panasonic）则将其采用4K技术的平板电脑捧为明日之星。这种技术号称能用比现有高分辨率还高四倍的分辨率显示图像。这两款产品都旨在夺取平板电脑高端市场，这也是日本平板厂商希望占据的细分市场。Z的售价约为500美元。分析师称， 跟市面上其他平板相比，这个价格实在高昂，但它或许能为对手树立一种全新标准。而索尼则称，自己的Xperia Z平板是全球最纤薄、日本最轻盈的产品。 |
