iReasons
If you have to think of a reason for it… you don’t need it. This is basically my feeling towards the… I’m just gonna call it the iTab. I’ve seen sites posting reasons why the iTab is actually really amazing and groundbreaking, but if you have to tell me why I need to have it and what I would use it for; then I just plain don’t need it.
The argument I’ve heard is that the iTab is the device that is in between a smart phone and a netbook. Alright… so what’s going to be in between the smart phone and the iTab? What do you mean we don’t need anything between those two devices? I didn’t think we needed something between a smartphone and a netbook either. Now if the iTab was actually revolutionary software-wise, then things would be different.
Want to see a revolutionary idea for a tablet from another company? An idea that actually looks amazing and useful; and not just a smart phone with a larger screen slapped on.
This little leaked video from Microsoft for the Courier is what I can get behind. I personally still wouldn’t have a use for it, but at the very least I could see productive people using it to make their job or life easier and more organized. The iTab is almost literally an iPhone with a larger screen. And like I said before… I don’t care how good an an screen keyboard is; it will never feel as good as something physical.
Let’s all just agree this was a bad idea and forget about it. It can join Nintendo’s Virtual Boy, Microsoft’s WebTV, in the big technology wasteland in the sky.
