As a moderate geek, I always glued to my iPhone and my laptop is soon close, where would a tablet would fit in ? As a replacement for the iPhone not really practical given the tablet’s size or as a notebook replacement but not as powerful. Thanks Michael My main wandering about this iTablet rumor is, as you noted, the third device question. As a moderate geek, I always glued to my iPhone and my laptop is soon close, where would a tablet would fit in ?

The "what for ?" is the key issue. If it's going to be a blown-up iPhone it will not work. You do not want to walk around with an oversized media-centric entertainment weapon. For that purpose a more civilized iPhone is a far better choice. For bed-based web browsing the iTablet could be fine. But for this the iBook is not bad either and bed browsing is not so sexy. Any to be a hit, the tablet has to show-up in the street. So they have to invent a market ant throw the tablet at it. This is not so difficult, after all: there is a huge demand for mobile text and sketch drafting, editing, reading and exchanging, web based document versioning and messaging and many professionals are still missing a decent Newton's successor.

As I'm currently reading Jerry Kaplan's "Startup" it was fun to read your comments on him approaching Steve Sakoman from your point of view. My main wandering about this iTablet rumor is, as you noted, the third device question. As a moderate geek, I always glued to my iPhone and my laptop is soon close, where would a tablet would fit in ? As a replacement for the iPhone not really practical given the tablet's size or as a notebook replacement but not as powerful. The second answer seems the best, but it means that the tablet should work in symbiosis with the iPhone. As always a great article !

As a librarian I'm most interested in the ebook functionality on these smaller devices. And I too have been asking the question about whether we really need yet another device (one reason I refuse to buy a Kindle or other designated ebook reader). My hope is that this tablet type device will include a very nice built in ebook reader or an ebook reading app that has similar to Kindle e-ink type technology (in order to truly replace print books baby boomers will require quality reading experience). If this tablet has all the features currently on my iPhone (including the phone features) along with a well designed ebook reader (that allows added functionality not possible with print) and a way to plug in a portable keyboard, then I am set. And I'd be willing to pay a fair amount as I'd need fewer devices. Instead of replacing my MacBook Pro when it's time for a new one, I would likely consider a desktop computer and this device. Or if I still wanted to keep a laptop for my main computer, at least I wouldn't need an iPhone along with this device. I suspect the younger generation will stick with the iPhone or iPod Touch or other smartphones for the smaller size and won't care about this device quite as much. So then we're back to the question of whether Apple will see that as a good or bad thing. Can't wait to see. Thanks for this excellent post.

For people like me the question is, Why not?

Until the iPhone was introduced, “everyone knew” what a “smartphone” was.

Right now, “everyone knows” what a “tablet computer” is.

Savvy?

Flat static ePub is a curse for eBooks. eInk is a curse for eBooks.

Bring on the iTablet!
