I Want a Tablet Computer
So rumor has it there are going to be some big tablet announcements over the next couple of weeks.
I’ve seen a few people (here and here) saying that tablets won’t work. I have no idea what Apple (and hopefully Google) have in the works, but If I could click the monitor off my laptop and take it with me to the living room, bedroom, kitchen, bathroom and it kept working - I think that would be pretty freakin awesome.
And I think that is how I would use it. I would have to assume it is going to have a stand that it sits on when not being held. I would assume I could connect a bluetooth/wireless mouse and keyboard to it. So much of the time it would act like a monitor (but the computer is in the monitor). So it’s a very low profile computer that I can sit in any room (and move room to room easily).
But I could also pick up this super thin monitor and head to another room to watch video, check email, keep up with twitter, pour through google reader, listen to music, play some games, read a book. Sure these are things I currently use my iphone for - especially when I am out of the house. But I would like to do it on a bigger and better screen, especially when I am in the house. And I don’t need a keyboard for those things. As a matter of fact - I don’t want a keyboard for most of that.
These things are going to be big…at least in my house. Even more so if the Google/HTC rumors are correct.
