It will be a game-changer, not because of itself but what it adds to the game. I am very excited for a tablet that would allow me to write, run, and do things on the run - taking notes, e-mailing, or preparing presentations on the run. Having a tablet device on an airplane would be a godsend. However, I don't think that the iPad will be the device that really makes the market what it is, much in the same way that the iPhone doesn't have an insanely high marketshare - its still 3rd place in the smartphone market. However, someone else will do it. Having just seen the Courier video, I really think thats the way it should go. I was thinking 'it'd be great if they made a folding touchscreen notebook' and wham - there it is. |
Have watched the courier video, I do think it will probably have some distinct advantages (possibly more portable due to a clam-shell design) but I still have the same problem with it as I do with the iPad ...
To a certain extent it feels like people are throwing (interesting) ideas out there to see if any catch on, and it doesn't seem like people are bringing products to market that they know there is a need/desire for.
