Comment on iPad – Is It About What They Say It Is? by Scott MacDonald

Scott MacDonald — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 14:58:07 +0000

I had colleagues at Tacoma Community College several years ago who were using slate tablet PCs for exactly these sorts of things. A slate tablet was about the same size as the iPad but ran Windows XP. I haven’t seen any slate tablets lately as they all seem to have been phased out and replaced by convertibles. I was watching for the release of the iPad to see what Apple did and I, frankly, am very disappointed that it cannot multitask.

I used a convertible tablet PC for several years in Tacoma. I was able to use it not only for keeping track of notes in meetings, email, and my calendar, but I also used it instead of a whiteboard to present material in class which I could then post on my web site for students to view. The iPad as I understand it would not have increased my productivity the way that tablet PC did. My experience with a tablet as a professional convinced me to buy one for myself which I now use for taking notes in class as well as for general computing.

I understand that Apple was not trying to create a tablet PC in the sense that I am used to them, but personally, I would have been much more interested if they came out with something that ran even a scaled-down version of Mac OS X or, at the very least, was capable of multitasking. I also believe something like that would be better suited for some of the uses you point out. Why haven’t tablet PCs already filled those niches then? One thing: marketing. Too many people have never heard of tablet PCs before and think the iPad is the first “tablet”. (One industry got the message, though: book publisher representatives all walk around campuses these days with a tablet computer.)

Comment on Crimson Hexagon: Listen to Your Audience by Melyssa Plunkett-Gomez

Thanks so much for the shout-out! We love the idea of On-Demand Market Research and polling. Why pay thousands (if not millions) to have people come into a room, eat M&Ms and ask them a bunch of questions that may or may not be answered in the most honest/forthright fashion?

We love listening into the online conversation, where people are giving unsolicited opinions, advice, recommendation and expressing emotions in a very interesting and often honest way.

Keep checking out the blog. We are always posting new analysis. And as a hint to an upcoming post: Are you interested to understand how the online community really feels about a Public Healthcare Option? We were.
