TLDR;
Armchair quarterbacks always like to take up either the pro or con side of potential new trends and products. They all operate on blind speculation and random presumptions based on their own limited views (or fanboyisms).
Apple may or may not release a tablet-type device. It may or may not be a PC or an uber-iPod touch. It may succeed or fail. NOBODY KNOWS.
- jacquesm 17y agoHe makes a good point though about it being an 'in-between' device. If it's less than a laptop and more than an ipod and iphone does that mean people will carry another device or are they going to make choices ?
- brk 17y agoYes, but the point is only theoretical since he has no first-hand experience with the device or the rumored services behind it. I could see many legitimate uses for a good tablet-type device (and I'm not talking about the lame JooJoo Crunchpad). At one time it seemed outlandish that there would be a PC in every home, or that people would have more than 1 TV and so on. I'll wait until it ships (if ever) before casting a judgment.
- annoyed 17y agowho needs another newfangled gadget? mine still works just fine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:2007Computex_e21Forum-MartinCooper.jpg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:2007Computex_e21Forum-Mart... http://www.techeblog.com/index.php/tech-gadget/another-day-another-guy-using-a-desktop-computer-inside-a-coffee-shop http://www.techeblog.com/index.php/tech-gadget/another-day-a...
- jacquesm 17y agoHehe, good point, but 'new' does not equal success. I remember the 'newton', and the tablet is suspiciously close to a modernized newton.
