Is the tablet currently a niche product? Yes. It's great for hospital staff and college students, but other than that, most people don't use them. IMHO, the reason that people continually mention tablets in the context of an ultraportable is bec…

This would be comical were it not so stupid. The patents claim a "means for providing" visual voicemail, not visual voicemail itself. You can hardly get a patent for an idea like "review messages out of sequence arbitrarily", but you can patent an e…

Dang. I expected a bit of bravado, but not this much. Quote: Your post is only a thinly veiled attempt to evangelise us. Creating a false controversy to convince people to sit through four minutes of "Jesus loves you" is pathetic. I thought lyi…

Any ultraportable that Apple makes is going to begin moving away from the traditional notebook form factor. I'm thinking a tablet, personally.

If Apple decides to come out with something to fill the "Newton2" slot, then it will most definitely be a tablet form factor unless they could pull off a folding display (which won't be for a while). Quote: The thing is the technology, both hard…

Yes, I would agree entirely. This probably needs to be a product that competes primarily with the EeePC, UMPCs, and no-keyboard tablets. The question is what the form factor will be.... You could have an ultrathin 13" MB, but that would potentia…

While the vision of Star-trek-esque complete interworking between pocket devices and desktop productivity is awfully cool and would be quite efficient, it would require quite a bit more than the current market could provide. Presently almost all pro…
