Article 1,232,9392 that states some other device will out iPad the iPad.
I don’t think they want to out iPad the iPad, I think they want to change the meme just like Apple did when they released the iPhone.
Apple is promoting the phone to replace the PC by basically putting the OS in a really big phone.
I think MS is trying to expand the traditional PC by putting it in really small containers.
Neither are doing this for our benefit. They are both trying to expand their market share. Personally, I want the most powerful phone I can get that is not hampered by trying to be a PC and I want a PC that is not hampered by trying to be a tablet or phone.
Difference is, Windows 8 will sell in huge quantities, ending up selling even more units than Windows 7, which has already sold a staggering 550 million in such a short time, even if those Windows 8 sales are split between traditional desktops and tablets.
Its not so much about “out iPading” the iPad, its about "out tableting" the iPad. Funny enough, long before the iPad, there were plenty of tablets including Windows XP tablets from as long ago as 2000.
