why i don't own an iPad. Post PC?

I talk about some of the shortcomings i find with the iPad and other tablets. They do not do email, browse or produce better than say a laptop. So until i find a tablet that does what i want (explained in the vid) no tablet for me.

Hey Bit. This is the first time I have ever disagreed with you. I am considering making a video stating why. Funny that we both have reversed our roles. I liked the Macbook Air at first and hated the iPad. Now I can't stop using the Ipad and won't buy a Macbook Air. LOL.

@channelasatourian hey, yea i hear ya. my wife wants an MBA as well.

Thanks MrBit10 for adding my video response. It actually makes a great stand alone topic, which I have already talked about on my show. I realize the iPad and other tablets may not be a solution to all in a work environment, but rather as an extension or addition to a desktop PC or computer.

@linuxcooldude anytime my friend, much appreciated.

brilliant video, i've been saying the same thing recently. After getting a cheap android tablet and people around me buying android tablets and iPad and really can't see what the benefit is over a PC or Laptop.

Sure, some games i like but its just not worth it, i'm a creative person and can't wait til Windows 8 comes along so i can find a tablet that's suited for use with both Touch and mouse and keyboard. That's the machine I want.

P.S. loving the indentation. What areas or which languages do you specialise in?

Maybe it is far off but what do you think about using software like Kinects's motion tracking as an input device for desktops? I'm not up2date on the technology but I guess the resource limitations for those inputs must have been mostly overcome to be able to release as a functional gaming device (degree of functionality and precision is not known to me).

Possibility for awesome gestures involving both hands and all digits allowing for complexity and a standard for gestures as you mentioned

if your going to carry around an ipad you may as well carry around a small laptop and be able to type properly and sit it on a bench and use it comfortably

Another great vid. I almost forgot about the luring currency crisis ( ;

Being very happy with my MBP for horizontal operations I'm holding back from getting an iPad. I do have an iPhone for relief on iOS experience though.

If you look at Windows 8, Microsoft is fully pushing touch on the Desktop. The touch UI comes to the desktop!

cant be more agreed with you dude, keep up the good videos coming
