Best Buy CEO: iPad Cannibalizing Laptop Sales By A Shocking 50%
http://gizmodo.com/5640351/best-buy-ceo-ipad-is-cannibalizing-laptop-sales-by-a-shocking-50
Steve Jobs owes me a commission. I’ve sold 2 of them in the last week.
Well, enticed the sale of them to be honest.
Love my iPad. On it as I speak/type.
I love my kindle 3
I’ve got the Kindle app on my iPad. :))
Hats off to Steve Jobs. He is, as I write this, changing the landscape of an industry most thought terminally stratified. He will be studied in business schools 100 years from now.
meh, I’m talking about the kindle hardware, which is better than ipad for the price :) $189 wifi+3g with free intenet which allows me to browse freerepublic.com vs $500+ with no internet access
I love my iPad, and I’m no techie. I work from home and use either a Dell PC or Dell Laptop for work. My husband’s an IT manager and he bought me the iPad for a present.
I’ve not been an Apple fan. Our son used a Macbook Pro all through college and grad school, and occasionally I’d try to use it but was so used to Windows, I found it hard.
Then I received the iPad...oh my gosh, what fun it is. I will admit although hubby got me all the bells and whistles to do work on it, I only use it for entertainment and information. That would be my one gripe. I often sit in my recliner w/my notebook and work, but balancing the iPad and keyboard on your lap isn’t easy, and although the normal keypad pop up works great if you’re using it for google, or to type in a web address, using it non-stop, having to shift between the number screen and the letter screen is too hard to do for work...thus the need for the external keyboard.
Now my husband’s liking it too. We read on it (ibooks has hundreds of free books), play games on it, get info on it through browsing, watch movies/television shows on it (lots of free movies on Netflix or Hulu...my husband’s watching old episodes of his favorite TV show MI5)...it’s just fun to use and the apps you can get, many for free, are amazing.
The only problem I’ve encountered is that now, when using my Dell laptop to do my work, I find myself tapping the screen quite often and then remembering...oops that doesn’t work on this computer. :)
No internet access?????? On the IPad,, what are you talking about?
ping
the usage model was always there. It was a pad with a pen and a photocopy of something to read. Granted simplified but it is good to have the star trek padds finally a reality. (like cell phones, etc.)
I am on an iPad now, Internet seems to be working fine.
Don’t feed the trolls - he likes his little gray Etch-A-Sketch better. Good for him. :)
I use iPad moremthan laptop but typing is a bitch.
I love my smartphone, iPad, kind
Dle and laptop
N
Eh? No net access? Then how did I post that original reply to you?
The iPad is doomed then? Yep once again, Apple is dead, Jobs should sell the stock and give the shareholders the money, Michael Dell said so.
Cell phones, touch tablets, bah! I'm still waiting for my phaser.
The iPad does Hulu?
