Come on, the iPad doesn't even have a tabbed browser and they still call it the "best web experience" and I'm not talking about Flash. When you have a full tablet and you still have to quit your program, go find the settings icon, to click on Generla to finaly activate your Bluetooth.... it's just plain ridiculous!
You changed the way people will access mobile information with your first tablet, but don't get stuck with it!
- olivercameron 16y agoDo you think the iPad's target audience even knows what tabs in a browser are? Or cares? It's entire goal is to simplify computing.
- Kylekramer 16y agoI would venture to say they do. After all, every major desktop browser has tabs (around 11% worldwide are on IE6, but I also doubt those users are getting iPads). How is a tap and another tap a simplified version of browsing compared to tabs?
- olivercameron 16y agoI'm not saying the iPad browsers window management scheme is better than tabs, I'm just saying most people probably don't use them. I have no definite numbers, but from experience in watching people browse, they have a bunch of windows open and use the Google search bar to type in "facebook".
- MrScruff 16y agoI realise this isn't addressing your point, but if a browser with tabs is your major objection to the iPad, I would heartily recommend iCab Mobile. It's full of power user features including 'real' tabs and costs $1.99. http://www.icab.de/mobile.html http://www.icab.de/mobile.html In answer to your actual question, I think Apple will address the more specific needs of power users when they feel they can do it without compromising.
