Tablets Galore at Computex
Computex news is starting to filter in by the truckload, and this interesting 10-inch device popped up. It is actually a fairly standard affair, but this tablet here is simply representative of the huge wave of interest that tablet devices have received in recent months. Many more tablets and MID’s looking similar to this are cropping up at Computex and suddenly the future of tablet devices looks brighter than ever.
Though history repeats itself – and we’ve had a tablet “phase” before – it is unlikely that this new push will just lay down and wither away, especially with the iPad’s phenomenal success and the Asus EEEPad undoubtedly scaring Apple.
With products like the APad, cheap and easy to make and being picked up by dozens of brands, affordable MIDs/tablets seem a future that is nearing incredibly quickly. Right now I’m sitting with the APad charging on my lap, and though I’m disappointed in it as a product, I see a real and true potential for handheld, conveniently sized devices that have so much promise.
