Apple takes on the mini notebook
23rd May 2009
They were a waste of money anyway
The iphone and its range of apps is fast becoming a replacement for most of the routine tasks done on a laptop computer. The only issue with an iphone which prevents using it for all aspects of business communications is the size of the screen and the virtual keyboard. A tablet iphone solution perhaps A4 in size with an interface which uses a finger or a 'pen' style device with a suite of 'office' style products would be ideal. This would defintely out sell the Kindle. Mini notebooks running Micorsoft software are a nightmare and are an expensive way to get internet access even at $300 dollars.
Even though I have always used Microsoft products for office use, web development and email solutions having used the Iphone personally for nearly two years, and run all my design studios with with Apple hardware, my view of the best solution is changing. Historically cost has always been a key factor in the Microsoft/Apple debate but this is becoming less important.
