Tablet Wars: A New Hope

Starring Apple Ipad and the rest of the world....


So its on... We got a very nice war between producers, trying to compete who will get a nicer, yet not as usefull tablet.


The idea isn't new. Its been tried before, it just didnt take off as expected. Tablets have a very limited usage, especially tablets like Apple, which are limited by their own operating system that is not compatible with anything else in the world.


It didnt take long before other producers jumped on a band wagon and shown their own tablets, including Dell. Where I dont like tablets at all, Dells idea got me thinking... I believe it is extremely cool solution to have either a netbook or a tablet. Tablet for fun, netbook for real work.


Out of all the choices that are coming to the market, this is the one I think that has a chance of actually taking off. Apple did take off, but thats due to the army of followers that would say Jesus lives if Steve Jobs would ask them to...


The only question is, how long will this hype about tablets stick around? Overall they are not as usefull as they are shown and they cost awful lot for a medium sized screen to play games on the go...


In my opinion, in 2 years the market will actually shrink from what it is now. What do you think?
