You know something.
I don’t get tablets. Tablet PCs have been around in a niche-market for years. Jobs comes along on his hype-o-matic and goes “hey kids, here’s a laptop… without a keyboard!” and before you know it you’re ankle-deep in spunk and everyone’s wondering why this country has credit card debts.
Then everyone else gets in on the act and we’ve got (largely crap but getting better) Android tablets all over the place, and proprietary ones springing up running Symbian or PhlegmOS or something, people are selling kidneys to buy the things and most of those people don’t actually have any use for it other than “ooh, shiny.”
Me, I’ve a passing interest in a tablet of some form, but every time I look at one I can’t help but think that if someone invented one with a keyboard, it’d be perfect.
And you know, they now sell keyboard docks for the iPad. Say what you like about Apple but they’re f’king good at selling you things you already own. In a recession.
