the content has some logical thought to it, but the title just makes me want to "this is sparta" kick my screen across the room.
1) google apps has great adoption and im personally all for web apps. iwork ipad edition might match gapps in revenue actually. it's about all the cloud apps, not JUST google's.
2) ebooks? okay, so what. that's like saying, oh it has an mp3 player or music store attached.
3) The large ipod touch thing doesn't work. tablets are tablets. if you say the ipad is a souped up ipod touch, then an anroid tablet is a souped up nexus one. oh, and ipad is getting more "computer" like processes with os4 ie- multitasking.
4) Actually the iPad can be used with any carrier (that's gsm sim i believe), no contracts. People have already hacked other carriers to go on it. its just the low profile sim card. scissors+normal sim = low profile sim.
5) the ups guy doesnt actually pick the technology. g maps and g calendar is available on the ipad as well. odds are ups would use a custom app. in that case, g maps is available as well via the api.
Seriously, i refuted this entire article in about 5 minutes while taking a shit because i was bored. I'm sure inc took a ton of time on this article (dont ask how) and paid good money. Google can certainly produce an ipad competitor(s), but this article isn't showing how.
- SamAtt 16y agoWhat's funny is if you use this article's twisted logic than the Microsoft's old Tablet PC would bury them both. I'll run down the list. 1. Microsoft Office is more well known than Google's apps or iWork 2. Windows can run Amazon's Kindle App 3. A full-on Windows computer is "more like a tablet computer" than an Android tablet would be 4. Tablet PCs are still offered by Dell, HP, etc. 5. Microsoft's more business oriented than either Google or Apple.
