> Turns out, “just a big iPhone” was a fantastic idea for a new product - music to tens of millions of iPhone users’ ears. Was it? I've never personally been interested in tablets, but my perception is that they're not especially popular. Over the last few years, I've rarely seen them being used for anything other than mobile video machines for little kids. A lot of people bought the iPad, but very few people appear to regularly use one. I'm aware that the iPad extremely useful for some people. I'm just not convinced it's the breakout success this article paints it as. My personal experience and observations show that it is more of a niche product.
