The Apple Ipad2 is still the latest trend in personal computers, and it is selling well, and the tablet competition is struggling to try to catch up. HP’s announcements make it doubtful that HP will come up with serious competition for the Ipad. Amazon is planning to announce a $249 tablet, that will compete, but not exactly “head-on”. What I mean, is that the Ipad is better, but more expensive, and that Amazon’s package is an alternative to Apple’s package.
2011 has been a year of very disappointing tablet competitors, but they are active, and soon I expect somebody to get it right. But so far, Apple is out-shining the other guys.
Rumor has it that the Desktop PC is dead…! But, I don’t believe it. My desktop is still my primary computer, and will be for the foreseeable future. The cell phone is becoming a “computing alternative”, and someday soon, I expect tablets will be a very powerful alternative. But for now, they are still a work in progress for many of us. 2012 will probably be when we see a tablet breakthrough, that will attract the masses!
