G+_Tor Iver Wilhelmsen Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 That the company managed to name their aborted attempt at a tablet (probably aimed at the business market) the PlayBook speaks volumes about their lack of understanding regarding tablets... Mr. Heins can be safely ignored. Again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Sean Connolly Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I see no need for Tablets. If I want to perform a quick task I will use my phone. If I want to perform a large task I will use a PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Tor Iver Wilhelmsen Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Holding a PC/laptop while standing on a commuter train trying to read a magazine on it is awkward compared to a tablet. So, a tablet it is. Also, a laptop with a touch screen still is less practical for touch operations because the screen typically does not rest on a surface that can push back so the best you can do is light touches, as opposed to... a tablet! Because Sean Connolly there are plenty of tasks that sit between your quick and large tasks, and for which a tablet is perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Lie Ryan Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Even assuming he is correct that in 2018 tablets becomes an obsolete idea, any company that are just going to disregard the next 5 years in the prediction of a future is not one you'd want to place your money on.
