Re: Ipads are midway between a mobile and a laptop

I don't think they have used photoshop, Mr.R. In fact, I have seen similar cases many times. Just this week I was in a room with only Macs -and some people, too, ;), even an old Mac laptop was there.

Well, using your Ferrari example, its exactly like that and I have to say probably every Ferrari owner is how I describe a tablet owner.

Are any of those owners driving their cars at 200 mph, etc? I doubt it. They use it to go to a fancy restaurant on sundays.

True, although I think tablets will change into smaller devices, similar to the 12", 15.4" and 17" laptops, we will have tablets for different uses.

Good to read comments about future of iPad replacing laptop. I think Tablet PC  usefulness for work may be overtaking by smartphones.

Hey Susan,

 

This is Cryptoman's wife. He told me about the app, I am looking forward to using the one for PIANO! I am a new user of mac and I am still trying to get a hang of the apps and of the mac world my friends brag about! ..I am trying to discover garage band and Imovie on my new macmini...

Anyway, I use many vocal excercises for warming up before my concerts. It is great especially when I am away from my piano in a hotel room somewhere or backstage. it's handy, practical and great. I also use the mini piano app to check the key of a song or if we want to change the key due to my cold etc...

There are many more apps I am sure..but like I said mac world is very new to me and I am looking into buying an Ipad. My music director brags about the endless tricks he can do with it. He uses it on stage too....I am seriously looking into it....but maybe it is smart to wait for Ipad3.....

Waiting for your suggestions...

Sorry for the late reply...but better than never right?

If you don't have to do any writing, or use a 3D modeling software like Solidworks, an ipad is a great, lightweight alternative to a laptop. But if you want to get any real work done, lap tops are still the way to go - imo.

Something like this? One Acer in a room full with hundreds of Macs.

Peter Drucker famously said "Trying to predict the future is like trying to drive down a country road at night with no lights while looking out the back window." Yet in the razor's-edge world of electronics—with a lean supply chain and just-in-time demands—the need to know the future is vital. While no one really can accurately predict the future, we can take guidance from another Drucker saying which is the best way to predict the future is to create it.

You've heard the saying "the No. 1 supply chain risk is your people." That hasn't always been the case. But today's complex global supply chain requires a new type of multitalented employee. It's one who understands, finance, marketing, economics, is savvy with technology, graceful with relationships and can think analytically. Where are these people? Are universities properly preparing the next generation supply chain professionals? How do train your existing workforce for these new, demanding positions? Brian Fuller, editor-in-chief of EBN, will lead a 60-minute Avnet Velocity panel discussion that will ask and answer these and other questions swirling around today's supply-chain talent challenges.
