Tablet Talk Part 2/3: Do we need/want a Tablet & Competitors

*HELLO* - So in this video I talk about the market responses to the tablet. Does the market WANT an apple tablet, and does the market NEED an Apple Tablet. A lot of you guys seem to think NO to both of those questions, I however think otherwise.

I also show you video clips, web pages abotu new and up and coming tablets that could rival Apples own tablet.

Yeah-they look at whats popular? Really

How about Blu-ray drives? Every computer maker has an option for that.

When Apple introduced the new MBP's-they touted the SD card reader as such an advancement-Apple was 5 years too late doing that.

Don't get me wrong-I love Mac's but god dammit Apple is way behind in somethings and way ahead in some.

[DRBUK]

lol ye the SD card slot just made me laugh, its like something i expected AGES AGO ! blu-ray ok fair enough apple have a good reason why they dont use it, but i mean SD Card slot ? fm radio in ipods ? lol ye apple really DONT CARE, THEY DO WHAT THEY WANT WHEN THEY WANT, when apple introduce something new EVEN IF ITS SILLY, LIKE CUT COPY AND PASTE on the iphone...ITS A BIG DEAL.lol. thats why they SELL, they can make anything look better than it is.lol. great marketing thats why !

[aditghai]

Great marketing-solid products-great service. Win-win situation.

But man-Microsoft is raising the bar. With Windows 7, Zune HD, and their rumored courier tablet. I think they stole some people from Cupertino-LOL

[DRBUK]

yes ! i believe windows are NOW COMPETING ! like u said, windows 7, zune hd and this new tablet are like NEXT GEN IDEAS, but but but....they still seem not as good as apples products, there competitors but still not as good. BUT ITS A STEP FURTHER THAN BEFORE ! i think in about..2 years microsoft, if they keep it up, will compete DIRECTLY with apple...time for apple to STEP UP THERE GAME ! lol

[designedfor]

DRBUK, would you really buy a 799 tablet? What's the highest you would be willing to pay for an apple tablet?

[DRBUK]

lol hmmm 799 is too much, i mean i may still get it, but man thats harsh ! 499 sounds better to me !

I want the Apple Tablet to do the following

Have full OS X

GPS/ Wi Fi/ Bluetooth

NO stylus (don't think apple can spell stylus)

Lots of folk saying what the market does not want, Axiotron have been selling the Modbook in the thousands, I think if apple do it right (ha ha) and price it right, the tablet will have phenomenal sales.

[johnmonk66]

The most annoying thing is most of us don't even want a full computer tablet, but a bigger ipod touch would sell like hotcakes. Imagine a 7 or 8 inch screen ipod touch with a hybrid os x. You have your basic computing, your internet and apps, movie and music. Yeah, a 7 inch ipod touch would be perfect.

the world doesn't revolve around apple

[thetechall]

an apple tablet IS NOT NEEDED its a FACT a VERY strong FACT however an apple tablet is WANTED.

sorry for caps lol

[donodare]

Apple is a platrorm.

Everybody else is a joke.

[mastersirus1985]

Apple will blow the other so-called Tablets out of the water!

[msviswan]

Hi, can you increase the volume on your videos? I always have to turn the speakers way up in order to hear you.

Yeah, I would like your opinion on Jailbreaking and all the specific benefits. Thanks

[thereason1010]

yeah, i definitely agree

[jaackhanford]

Hey drbuk.. Whats your stance on jailbreaking?

[jtrammell1161]

I think you make some great points, well done. I do think it's going to come down to functionality of the tablet as to if it's a success or not. The thing I find most interesting is, this tablet could be the missing link that leads us more into cloud computing.
