I checked your blog post. You are absolutely right. People do not buy any product, particularly lifestyle consumer electronics, just by better marketing. It should impact their lives if not at least be useful. The proof is in the pudding - Apple is able to sell 1M ipads a month, a great feat whatever way we look at it. I am very upbeat about these devices due to their portability, reasonable power and extended battery life. Selvaraju

( source D8 talk) In Australia, people are fancied by Apple's ipad launch and see them regularly in trams. I feel iPhone is better than iPad. Apart from bigger screen size and processing power, iPhone beats iPad. iPad is all about web experience and how people do things. Netbooks, the screen size is 10inch and you have to strain your eyes and annoying WIN7 starter edition which restricts only 3 apps running concurrently. Apple is trying to reinvent the wheel.

The 4th screen paradigm is brilliant. Like we discussed though we are thinking currently of Android and iphone OS, there is a great chance that Microsoft, HP and 100s of Linux distributions can be effectively ported to tablets. I think it is just a matter of time. Just imagining 3 years back there is no real smart phone, iphone came, within an year opened store and showed world a model. Within an year, Android established an open market place and other are following. Interesting times ahead. BTW I read this interesting post on Gizmodo on what could be Microsoft's strategy http://gizmodo.com/5547676/ Sukumar

I think still it is long way to go for tablets replacing typical personal computer a)personal computer also still evolving b)tablets has its own disadvantages c)no real competition in tablet field. But i can see some point of time, the chip makers and other support firms have to make a decision whether to continue PC evolution or accelerate tablets/mobile device. It all depends on how people fast adapting apple tablets for now. Subba Thanks Vamsi, Glad that you liked it.

As i wrote sometime back in this post - http://www.sastwingees.org/2009/12/03/microsoft-3screen-strategy-doa/ I do see a need for a 4th screen. At this time iPad seems to be the strongest contender for the 4th screen spot in our lives. I am sure Android based tablets will catch up with iPad soon and may also be more cost effective for emerging markets like India. Nice post Vamsi.
