Dell Stops Selling Android Tablets (pcworld.com)

Posted by msmash on Thursday June 30, 2016 @08:00AM from the taking-a-step-back dept.

Dell is discontinuing its Venue line of Android tablets. Furthermore, the company says it will also stop issuing software updates to its existing Android tablets. The move comes as Dell wants to shift its focus on Windows 2-in-1 devices. As for the other reason, the American company adds that Android market is "oversaturated" and is experiencing "declining demand from consumers." Other Android devices from the company were discontinued some time ago. The company will honor after sales support for people who have purchased Venue Android tablets until the warranty and service contracts expire.

...the American company adds that Android market is "oversaturated" and is experiencing "declining demand from consumers."
Translation:
"Too many people are already using an Android tablet and we can't sell our broken crap to them anymore ."
There... Fixed it for you.
