Vets's Profile

Alright, about the only thing I agree with you Matters, is that there's probably not enough market for what I'm talking about! But that's what I want and NEED! haha Take care! :)

Matters said, "Ah, but that’s my point--it won’t be $3000 because that’s one of the primary problems with Windows tablets: they’re too expensive. Normal people just don’t buy $3000 computers anymore. That’s so 1980s. " Yes but most "normal people" don't buy Macs in the first place! and I dunno what you're talking about prices. I paid nearly $4000 US for my decked out Powerbook 15" 1.67GHz, and that's not counting my iPod or software! If Apple is going to revolutionize the tablet market they're not just gonna come out with another "accessory" like all the other companies. They won't come out with something that no one would buy if they already had a laptop, I mean look how small the 12" powerbook is! They'll come out with something that will either replace their laptop or persuade someone in the market for a laptop to go for a more expensive tablet! and if you really need keyboard input you can buy a wireless Virtual Keyboard which are already on sale! Also having a fairly large screen and interactivity would be a blessing to me so I don't have to lug my laptop and Wacom tablet with me–––clearly you're not a designer of any kind. If you were you'd understand that most creating using a tablet you work zoomed far in, therefore you wouldn't need a huge screen–––think about how small most tablets are! Matters said, "Vets, you’re making the same mistake that Chris is making. You’re thinking of a tablet as a desktop replacement. But it won’t be." When did I ever hint the tablet as being a desktop replacement, I was hinting that it was a LAPTOP replacement, sorry I have to yell! :) and don't tell me it can't be! Obviously you're right it can't be a desktop replacement! I have a dual 2.7GHZ G5 with 30" Cinema display and 9x12" Intuos 3 tablet.....there's no possible way a portable device could replace that, But it could be used to do last minute perctions on my digital work, even if it is just a 12" screen or so, cause I work zoomed in! Matters said, "An Apple tablet will be a consumer device, like an iPod. People won’t think of it as a “computer”. It probably won’t be called a “Mac”. If it ran OSX––obviously it would be called a "Mac"! and obviously if they do come out with a tablet it will run OSX! Matters said, "Anyone who thinks a tablet is going to be a Photoshop or Final Cut Pro or DVD Studio Pro workstation is on drugs." Not a workstation, that is what you're desktop is for; but for finishing touches on your way to work–priceless! :) And yes I AM on drugs! They'll do wonders for your creative side, maybe you should try some! :)

Matter said, "*THAT* is what a tablet is suited for. Just like a PDA/iPod hybrid--except that it’ll have a larger wide-screen view for videos, and much more powerful than a PDA. You don't have to force your lazy opinion on the rest of us, I doubt Apple would ever hire you if you spoke in that tone all the time! ...and by the way I hope you have fun watching videos on your $3000 tiny assed screen!
