The tablet running Google Chrome OS would also include a virtual keyboard at the bottom of the screen or a keyboard that could be opened in a separate window that could be placed in different areas of the screen. Applications would be placed at the bottom edge of the screen and could be opened with an upward dragging motion.
I like the fact that the applications are at the bottom edge? So that it will not block us from what we are doing and prevent us from accidentally clicking on it.
Also, the tablet can run various applications at the same time.
Apparently Apple seems to be having difficulty doing that right now and worse still, they do not have flash.
Flash is like the epitome of videos. Without it, we simply will get frustrated when we see that stupid plug-in sign which forbid us from viewing what we want to see!
Google has mentioned that they are most probably going to outsource the hardware portion like how they outsourced the manufacturing of Nexus One (Google's new phone that runs on Android) to HTC.
And HTC, being a renowned brand has of course not failed Google by producing one of the most successful phone on its first try ever!
As you can see, outsourcing sometimes is not just about sourcing for the cheapest deal.
Today, we are not just talking about price compteition, we are very much infatuated with the amount of value we get in return for our money now.
If you can find us the best deal and gurantee us that it is going to be awesome. I'm 110% sure that everyone out there will not mind paying 10% more than the usual market price.
Afterall, we are afraid to pay more than the market price only because of one simple reason.
That is we are skeptical about the touted functionality of the product per se.
They always go on and on and on, blabbering about how coveted their product is but when you bought it, you realised that it just isn't as great as they say.
Though price, ease of use and hardware functionality will certainly be important factors in who wins the tablet battle, the most important determinant of who comes out on top may be the variety and quality of applications available for the devices.
In the end, it won't be about the most apps but the best apps, Krajicek argued.
I think it makes alot of sense?
For me, I feel that what's the point of iPhone having like tens of thousands of applications?
At the end of the day, you are just obfurscating the really great ones from the public. They are not going to be able to filter out the best ones that Apple has because not all of us like so techy-savvy you see.
Furthermore, there are way, way too many choices already. Almost too many for us to browse through. Humans like choices but if you offer them too many choices, they will take an extra long time than expected. In the end, they just will leave the shop without buying anything. Because they are so confused!
We just want something great, not just good. The bad ones should be removed constantly.
You know? Great companies are great because they diversify along their hedgehog concept. Once you go haywire and start deviating from it, you will soon see the demise of your organisation.
Right now, I see that Apple is pretty complacent already as they came up with something called an iPad that is not the least impressive to me.
Perhaps, it's time for Apple to take a backseat and start to ruminate over how they can revolutionize iPod instead!
