“ I’ve never really understood the purpose of a tablet. From web equipped mobile phone to a laptop, I’ve just never seen the need for a transitionary product, atleast that is how I perceive them.”
What’s to understand? Tablets and phones are basically interchangeable functionality wise but the tablet has a LOT more real estate. Laptops are larger and clunkier, but are much more feature laden.
If a tablet is like a phone then in my opinion its just a clunky cumbersome object without phone capabilities.
Without a keyboard, I cannot do any serious work and I do only moderate browsing on a phone, which suits me fine on the go.
