Almost 500 million iPads have been sold so far. Seems that they aren't that pointless as many haters hoped. |
Benefits of tablets are especially apparent in small businesses, where they replace usual POS machines very comfortably. As a standard consumer product, well, I never understood the appeal of at least the first tablets, those ones released, say, two or three years after the release of the original iPad. As time has gone on, I think their existence has been justified in several ways. But the first iPad, for example? It sucked. I remember when Jobs tried to explain their aim to make the machine better at certain tasks phones and laptops were known for. Well, to me, the thing wasn't better at anything, maybe just video playback, which, yeah, might've been enough justification.
Different strokes for everyone, though, I know I am really weird.
My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.
