What we Want from the Apple Tablet
- callmeed 17y agoBeyond the cool factor, why would I want this if it can't do anything more than my iPhone? If I can run a local dev environment, run a terminal and have a few other tools, it would be handy on short trips when I don't want to bring my MBP. If not, meh.
- jsz0 17y agoI was interested in what pricing looked like these days for tablet PCs so I checked some sites. Apparently no one likes tablets and they don't sell. BestBuy doesn't stock any. NewEgg has about half a dozen beefy 5-6lbs underpowered convertibles. CDW was the one site I found with a pure tablet (Fujitsu) and it costs $2k and sports a similarly underpowered (1.4Ghz) CPU. The author of this article seems to want Apple to release a comparable product for 60% less. Not gonna happen. Not Apple's style. If Apple releases any tablet device it will simply be a larger version of the iPod Touch.
