iTablet Europe has appointed Paul Maiden as Retail Sales Director. He has joined the company to manage the launch of the new iTablet range of Windows and Android based tablet computers that will be initially offered through major high street retailing groups across the UK and Europe. Further announcements will be made over the next few weeks regarding the retailers that will be involved in the launch programme. Paul Maiden has over 20 years experience of the FMCG and consumer electronics markets and has worked closely with major UK and international retailing groups. iTablet Europe is currently gearing up to launch the iTablet range and is in the final stages of discussions with TV-based retailers, multiple high street retailers and major supermarket chains. It also intends to pursue significant opportunities with leading service providers including some of the UK’s largest mobile phone retailers. iTablet Europe has been formed as part of a joint venture with one of the world’s largest manufacturers of personal computing products. This Taiwanese group has a turnover of $1.4billion in 2009 and produces more than 20 million laptop computers each year as well as printers and SatNav units for some of the largest global brands. This will be fully supported by both Microsoft and Intel who see the iTablet as one of the first serious tablet PCs to hit the market offering full compatibility with commonly used Windows applications and the ability to connect to home or company networks.
