Apple manufactures brilliantly conceived integrated solutions, but as the environment evolves, more and more of the pieces that went into that integration can be supported by software. Apple has already hinted at this with iCloud, which makes individual devices less important. Look for disruption around personal, not local, area networks, where each individual has a tiny personal server that supports a network of devices from multiple manufacturers. Also think beyond media consumption; consider, for example, a mobile networked device that monitors your blood pressure in real time or checks that the level of medications in your bloodstream is at the prescribed levels. Microsoft is already developing networks like this for the home; we all have seen this in the office; several companies, not just Apple, are trying to do this in the Cloud. The personal network will mean that the devices themselves will become dumber, but we will have many of them, all connected. Thus one cheap screen for reading text, a larger screen (also cheap) for video, a link to the cellular network, a link to WiFi, networks. The tablet will be disaggregated. I don't know that Apple or anyone else necessarily has a locked-in lead here.<br /> <br />People are creative. The world did not stop innovating because Steve Jobs was a smart guy.<br /> <br />Joe EspositoMartyn Danielshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02134633193540004531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35428618.post-51328167263913658382012-05-04T11:34:09.124+00:002012-05-04T11:34:09.124+00:00Brian

I would rather have an 'airbook' and it goes where i need to go for heavy duty stuff and i have my hub and a smartphone (i think the phone is still more important than a media player with add ons and can accommodate Facebook, linkedin, email, SMS and voice.)

They don't have a choice - it's what the company gives them.<br /><br />I use my iPad for everything I used to use a laptop for - giving PowerPoint presentations, editing Word documents on the go (I can touch type on the onscreen keyboard), dealing with email - I can't do any of these successfully on a phone.<br /><br />Of the three the one I would lose is the phone, because I don't actually need it to work (in fact I'd get more work done if I hadn't got it!), while I do need the other two.Brian Clegghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12723555872580740773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35428618.post-92030628307511675562012-05-04T11:10:53.252+00:002012-05-04T11:10:53.252+00:00another way of looking at it:

Tablet<br />3. Smartphone<br /><br />Then add up the true cost of ownership of all three platforms and ask the question again and if you use mobile you should add in 3G costs or accept the limitations.Martyn Danielshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02134633193540004531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35428618.post-11216461183292030732012-05-04T11:06:27.339+00:002012-05-04T11:06:27.339+00:00Brian personally i don't want desk top furnitu...Brian personally i don't want desk top furniture so have long forgotten the desktop but use the Laptop as such and this enables me to move to between places. So i read desktop, pa, laptop as the same - a hub. The tablet is a nice gadget but seriously what do you do on the tablet you can't do on a decent smartphone. The 'like many professionals' is not accurate and demotes it to bling. I accept we need mobile devices but i would rather have an Airbook and a decent phone and forget the rest any day. is aMartyn Danielshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02134633193540004531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35428618.post-56982678882364326962012-05-04T10:57:38.156+00:002012-05-04T10:57:38.156+00:00Sorry - can't agree with your analysis. For me...Sorry - can't agree with your analysis. For me the tablet has replaced any need for a laptop. Like many professionals I still use a desktop for heavy duty desk work, but the tablet becomes the PC on the move. And the phone is a phone - my iPhone only just fits in some of my pockets as it is: any bigger and I'd need a bag to carry it, which defeats the 'always with you' requirement.Brian Clegghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12723555872580740773noreply@blogger.com
