In her Forrester Research report released Monday, Epps argues that when Amazon releases its tablet on the market, it has the potential to become the top competitor to Apple's iPad. The reason?

However, future threats always have the potential to arise. Competitive Rivalry – Unless the popularity of the Little Wonder completely dwarfs other products in it's class then competitive rivalry should remain small.

Competitors likely would not want to risk losing current sales by adding features which would raise their prices.

2. Avon believed focusing on the untouched market of the United States would be difficult so they focused on the growth of the global operations outside of the United States because they felt that it would be very easy to rule and then they could come back to the United States and be able to gain and convince the United States that their products were the best on the markets today. 3. Avon would benefit from other countries because of their product would appeal to more customers for the disposal incomes that they have because in the past the populations in other countries would look at Avon’s cosmetics as a falling of secondary needs.
