I guess that will either be proven or not as applications become touch-enabled. I can see a program like Visio being a killer touch-app. Add voice recognition to a touch-app and I might never go back.Paul Moormanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10956138993995459655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5703967794899334863.post-56561013297919562802011-01-30T15:39:44.070-05:002011-01-30T15:39:44.070-05:00The big win of the tablet, and of the smartphone a...The big win of the tablet, and of the smartphone as well, is that it has a limited user interface when compared to a PC. It's designed not as a universal tool, but as an appliance. People understand appliances. The late Ma Overclock understood appliances, despite having been born in 1919. Appliances are hard to screw up. Despite my having two degrees in computer science, or maybe because of them, I find the typical PC all too easy to screw up. My iPad will never replace my beloved MacBook Air. But it serves just fine for me to sit at Starbucks, and comment on your blog, just as I am doing right now.<br /><br />Three cheers for appliances!Chip Overclockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11195242013008369733noreply@blogger.com
