do you think the new Apple iPad will fly off shelves?
Friday, January 29th, 2010i have this feeling it won’t.
It’s a "tablet", so no. They don’t really fill a gap in the market. If you want a small portable device, and you don’t need a proper keyboard, then most smart phones will do everything you want. And if you want a small device that’s light, will fit in an ordinary bag, but has a more user friendly design and keyboard, then a netbook is the best way to go.
I think the ipad might do a lot better than other tablets, because it will have a lovely interface, and will appeal to people who like their gadgets to be beautiful and fun to use, but I don’t think it will compete with smart phones or net books:)
