[citation][nom]Yuka[/nom]No tablet can come near the iPad's success... Why? Because they arrived WAY too late to the party. People now got used to the iOS schema of getting things done (I'm willing to bet that most iPad owners have an iPhone around, very close to them).Now, the Asus transformer gave very useful features to the "tablet" concept with a cheap twist (cheap is not a trivial word IMO) and not leaving quality behind. I used it for a while (a friend has it), but I'm not a target for them at all, so all I can say is that tablets are a niche product that fit very specific needs. If they try to broaden those needs, disaster will occur: price will go up, performance will go down; or even worse, they'll step into PC territory (notebooks). Side by side, though, the Asus looks better than the iPad in functionality, but the iPad is way way easier to use. It's like Android was meant for engineers and iOS for... Well... You know... Masses.When Apple steps into the PC territory, they won't care though, because it's their own ecosystem (phone -> tablet -> notebook -> desktop). But Android... Android is Linux kernel + Java, so it's closest relative is Linux and we all know about Linux for the masses: is non-existent. Google is taking big steps to make that change, but there's the other big brother called Microsoft that won't budge on that market, lol.Cheers![/citation]
Don't you know that OSX is based on UNIX? So it's closest relatives are AIX, HP-UX and we all know about UNIX for the masses: is non-existent.
