Smartphone maker Alcatel aims to garner $10 million revenue from its portfolio of tablet PCs, a segment where it hopes to corner 10 per cent market share by the end of this year. It has recently launched three new tablet PCs, the latest one being the ‘A3 10’. These will compete against products from the stables of Datawind, Samsung and Micromax, among others. “We hope to exit 2017 with 10 per cent market share,” Praveen Valecha, regional director at Alcatel India, said. He added that the company expects the tablet PC vertical will clock revenues of about $10 million in this calendar year.
