PCs see surprising gain in US as global decline slows, but Apple slips
- byoung2 12y agoI'd bet that the rise of larger phones have made tablets less of a necessity. I have a 5.3" Galaxy Note 3 and it fits comfortably in my pocket. My wife has the same phone and it fits in her purse. There's no need for a 7" tablet because it wouldn't be much of an improvement for screen size for the hassle of having to carry it around. That leaves 10" tablets, but the novelty of running apps on a big screen wears off when you can run the same ones on a 5.3" screen. The Surface is a nice alternative if you want to run desktop software, but it is a hard sell at $1300 when you can get a 15" touchscreen from HP for $300.
