Apple iPad has fired up an industry that dragged it’s feet for the last decade. The reason why tablets sucked in the past was the fact that they were old dogs with cheap new tricks. UI, software and hardware that did not work as a unified experience prevented mainstream folks to grasp the need for such distinctive products. What made it worse were hybrid products like the one to the left that confused the public and gave a false sense of security with a keyboard and touchpad to keep the mindset deeply rooted into a laptop mentality, far from what a tablet is trying to achieve. Sadly I wish the product to the left was from the past but unfortunately it is an upcoming release from Panasonic. It is just another reminder that PC vendors still do not get it. Thank goodness for Apple and Microsoft.
