Popular Science’s Tom Conlon posted this article yesterday and caught my attention immediately! Is this what I’ve been looking for? But he says “Apple Tablet Could Ruin Computing”
But Conlon foresees some problems ahead — linked to mobile carriers could also bring the same user woes iPhone users have been complaining about. Conlon notes:
The Apple tablet will likely sit somewhere in between the iPhone and a Mac laptop. But it won’t just blur the line between them — it will attempt to erase it. This should scare you because it will be the biggest leap yet towards the notion of a completely closed ‘desktop’ operating system.
No different from some of the popular “Netbooks” which have overtaken all laptop sales hands-down.
Like with most of the iPhone’s failings, we can probably thank AT&T for its Orwellian lockdown. So far we’ve been somewhat forgiving of the restrictions put on the iPhone because, well, that’s how cell phones and cell phone providers have always done it.
Guess we’ll just have to wait and see.
thanks for reading…
