desktop os
bannedfromzdnetagain Updated - 18th Feb 2010
so let me get this straight. since 2001 the concept of having a
desktop os on a touchscreen has failed big time in the market place
but this company and hp with their upcoming slate pretend as if it
didn't happen and the pc media gets excited about the exact same
thing that is available today: a laptop with intel parts without the
keyboard and the same windows desktop os on it that was developed
for mouse and keyboard?

for starters: the ipad will introduce another interaction paradigm and
ui to tablets, totally centered around touch. the idea of the device is
fundamentally different than that of the hp slate or this one here.

apple is sailing away while the pc box assemblers are still in the port
- adding ports.
