The best example Bob Dole can think of to make is likening it to something like a Franklin Planner. If you just thought of and used a FP as a calendar, it was overpriced and bulky and pretty much useless. If you allowed yourself to fundamentally change the way you planned and worked, it was not useless at all. A tablet probably isn't going to replace Bob Dole's desktop computer any time in the near future, but it sure as hell helps with organizing and planning, saves a lot of duplicated effort, and once you adjust your habits, it saves time spent retrieving information or looking for a computer so you can access that spreadsheet back on your desktop that you neglected to print out and bring with you. |

.. but the Duo is NOT a piece of shit... it's actually a well made device that actually *GASP* can DO STUFF! but it definitely is too bulky to be a true "tablet". |

As to the A5... it would be the most expensive component along with the screen and the battery. The screen and battery pricing drops across the board as the technology ramps up.. so yes, Apple drove those prices down.. but they drove them down for EVERYONE... so it really comes down to processor/memory.. and THAT my friend is where Apple will have trouble keeping up. Again.. it won't happen THIS year... this year will be full of better hardware at the same price as the iPad.. next year will be better hardware at lower prices. It's not going to happen overnight. |

http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20110314PR200.html As for belittling the market analysts, you just don't want to acknowledge a contrary (and mainstream) viewpoint. |

Maybe tablets are the future as far as computing, but based on the limitations of the current hardware, it's not likely that any of them have the capability to replace a computer full-stop; that's probably at least two to three versions away. For now, Tablets remain novelty items, and we'll see who does novelty best over the next year. Odds are, it's probably still Apple.
