Phred had 1,000 monkeys type:
A tablet that will do Office stuff natively and comes with an optional super thin keyboard that doesn't jump up and cover the screen every time you try to type something? ARM option for lower cost/longer battery life, and they've already got a generation or two of ARM OS under their belt?

Obviously no idea on the execution, but the concept seems pretty solid.

I don't know. If it has decent stylus support and you can ACTUALLY draw on it.. I'm in [nt] - pooka, 06-19-2012 20:15 (Views: 20)

Oh, and tether it to my camera vs iPad+laptop. [nt] - pooka, 06-19-2012 20:16 (Views: 29)

Now that I think about it... fuck Apple all around. I hate Windows but - pooka, 06-19-2012 20:22 (Views: 38)

My negro. If you needs tips, I gots 'em.[nt] - Paul, 06-19-2012 22:32 (Views: 26)

Would these happen to be.........whistle tips? [nt] - Phred, 06-19-2012 22:52 (Views: 24)

this has zune vs iPod written all over it. round 2? [nt] - Tendenzi, 06-19-2012 14:49 (Views: 25)

Yeah, I said "ZunePad" yesterday. I dunno. Just seems like they're late to the party here. - Paul, 06-19-2012 16:44 (Views: 32)

Probably late for the appliance users. Not so much for office/business users. - Phred, 06-19-2012 17:10 (Views: 35)

I dunno. Most enterprise environments have gotten a handle on how to manage iOS devices. - Paul, 06-19-2012 17:40 (Views: 37)

I'm with you on the people who already bought. - Phred, 06-19-2012 17:42 (Views: 30)

Office has been handled on iOS too, QuickOffice, Documents to Go, etc. - Tendenzi, 06-19-2012 18:56 (Views: 34)

It's not Office. [nt] - enet, 06-19-2012 22:28 (Views: 28)

phew, thank you for that clarification. - Tendenzi, 06-19-2012 22:36 (Views: 34)

With a Windows tablet, you get proper Office - enet, 06-19-2012 23:03 (Views: 25)

Main thing for business is that it makes the business case for iPads much more difficult. - enet, 06-19-2012 23:15 (Views: 32)

Oh what you meant was "It's not WINDOWS" above, not Office. Silly. - Tendenzi, 06-19-2012 23:12 (Views: 28)

The only thing that is purely Windows there regards printing, which you brought up. [nt] - enet, 06-19-2012 23:32 (Views: 25)

It is just like saying Paint.NET or Gimp == Photoshop [nt] - Ordeith, 06-19-2012 22:42 (Views: 23)

and for most people, it is. So what? [nt] - Tendenzi, 06-19-2012 22:45 (Views: 28)

So if you could run a full featured photoshop and illustrator on a tablet, would you? - Ordeith, 06-19-2012 22:49 (Views: 24)

no. [nt] - Tendenzi, 06-19-2012 22:51 (Views: 29)

Your loss I guess, all the "artists" I know are excited at the prospect. - Ordeith, 06-19-2012 22:53 (Views: 27)

battery life, performance concerns; these tablets aren`t the best for that yet. - Tendenzi, 06-19-2012 22:57 (Views: 31)

oh and before you or enet get into it with me, please note the following: - Tendenzi, 06-19-2012 22:48 (Views: 32)

Well...yeah, sorta. I'm sure it mostly works. - Phred, 06-19-2012 19:04 (Views: 35)

I only saw it at a glance, but it seems somewhat compelling. - Phred, 06-19-2012 05:03 (Views: 48)

I wonder where they got the idea from? Truly innovative. :) [nt] - Progressivebreaks, 06-19-2012 13:50 (Views: 30)

Clearly Apple. They invented the tablet computer. They invented everything, really. :) [nt] - Phred, 06-19-2012 13:54 (Views: 22)

pretty sure I used a tablet computer in '06 - Glenn, 06-19-2012 14:43 (Views: 40)

Didn't Microsoft try to market a tablet a while back ... - Catfish, 06-19-2012 16:52 (Views: 32)

WAF! - Phred, 06-19-2012 14:57 (Views: 39)

had a cool CAD program that was made for pen imput - Glenn, 06-19-2012 22:29 (Views: 27)

that's just your imagination! [nt] - Tendenzi, 06-19-2012 14:46 (Views: 25)

Some might think that :p [nt] - Glenn, 06-19-2012 14:50 (Views: 31)

Just saw the keyboard this morning, now I get it. - Paul, 06-19-2012 12:57 (Views: 35)

TouchCover or TypeCover? Or you saw both? There isn`t "the keyboard", there are two. [nt] - Tendenzi, 06-19-2012 13:46 (Views: 40)

OIC. Honestly just skimmed engadget. This device doesn't interest me at all. [nt] - Paul, 06-19-2012 14:02 (Views: 28)

just curious which one or if you thought both, Apple would emulate. [nt] - Tendenzi, 06-19-2012 14:10 (Views: 32)

Oh sorry. The softouch keyboard one that looked like it had actual keys.[nt] - Paul, 06-19-2012 16:42 (Views: 22)

I look forward to them inventing another innovation. :) [nt] - Phred, 06-19-2012 13:45 (Views: 27)

I like it as well. Need to play with one a bit. - Glenn, 06-19-2012 12:10 (Views: 39)

Taking it kind of hard, aren't you? [nt] - Bean, 06-19-2012 03:40 (Views: 26)

Not in the least. I'll use my UMPC to keep my Windows 8 Tablet warm. [nt] - Sydwyndir, 06-19-2012 04:35 (Views: 25)

This seems to be a minority opinion. [nt] - enet, 06-19-2012 02:27 (Views: 41)
