There's also the small matter of 10 years worth of Moore's Law. It's significant, though, that if the tablet-winter could be overcome, perhaps other winters may yet also be...
EDIT Apple also had the Newton, a tablet-like device...
- mitchty 14y agoEven then, the approaches were entirely different. Microsoft tried shoehorning their desktop os into a tablet, Apple did not. They did the same thing for their phone os, I for one do not miss the stylus phones.
- luriel 14y agoI do miss phones with decent (and that meas physical) keyboards.
- ph-k 14y ago> Apple also had the Newton, a tablet-like device... Apple created the Newton when Jobs was gone. In the series of questions/answers after the WWDC 1997, right as Jobs was about to make his comeback, he admitted that he didn't like the Newton, and that he did not wish for Apple to continue developing it.
