Worth the read even if only for the conclusion:
> [A] tablet is, crucially, a more shareable computer. A laptop, with its fragile hinge-ware and space-gobbling keyboard, is just not comfy to share. A tablet is easier to bring to the café, easier to hand across the table or along the sofa, easier to seize in the heat of the moment, easier to hold up in triumph, easier to set aside when you need to meet someone’s eyes.
> How big a market is that? Anyone who says they know is lying.
- bensummers 16y agoI wrote a blog post about my experiences with using an iPad to show software at networking events: http://bens.me.uk/2010/ipad-software-demo-at-networking-events http://bens.me.uk/2010/ipad-software-demo-at-networking-even... TL;DR - it works great, but stick to static screenshots for making the tour very quick.
- ben1040 16y agoThis is exactly why I like the iPad (although done right it could extend to any other tablet). With minimal browser chrome in the UI and minimal physical framing around the screen, you can just hand someone a web page as though you were passing over a newspaper. It's way more natural than trying to pass over a 15" laptop.
