Agreed, but we're just starting, maybe in a few years, who knows...
IMO, the term post-PC is a nice way to differentiate Android/iOS/WebOS/etc tablets from previous generation tablets that ran Windows or some Desktop version of Linux.
- hugh3 15y agoI think the laptop, rather than tablet, form factor is going to dominate in the medium-term future, because the portability vs usability tradeoff just doesn't encourage giving up your keyboard. That doesn't necessarily mean that the laptops of the future will have a full-featured OS rather than a locked-down iOS-style OS. I mean, I'm sure yours will, and mine will, but will your mother's?
- glassx 15y agoOh, agreed. And the newer ultrabooks make the portability vs usability tradeoff much much smaller. And maybe open/closed OSs will eventually converge. Look at Lion and Windows 8... I just hope they remain open!!!
