I made it a few chapters into Don Quixote . . . but classes got in the way.

It still amazes me that parents give iPads to their young children.
 Whatever happened to giving them those fake 'educational' laptops from
Toys-R-Us for $30 so they don't break the real computer?  I expect now that
this Christmas, there will be many (or mini) iPad minis under the tree for
the young-uns.

I personally would still opt for a less-expensive option like the Android
mini:

Funny thing is that this question was asked back in the Palm Pilot days, and
so was born the first smart phone.

You're a trend-setter, Richmond:

One of the ironies of the so-called "post-PC era" is that I find myself 
running into a growing number of people who are rediscovering their 
desktop computers.


Laptop sales overtook desktops in 2003, providing the portability people 
needed more than raw horsepower.  That portability was so important that 
a majority of customers are willing to pay much more for less 
horsepower-per-dollar than their desktop counterparts.


But these days, most computer users also have smartphones, the one 
computer we always have with us.


Tablets are fun, but they can't fit in a pocket (even the new 7" would 
require some pretty large cargo pants pockets ), so those lugging a 
tablet around in whatever carrying case they use still have their 
smartphone with them as well.


Over time this prompts some of us to ask, "Why am I carrying a second 
Internet device with me when I already have my phone?"


With things like the Macbook Air weighing almost the same as a tablet, 
since either needs a carrying case why not take the one that has more 
power, more RAM, offers the unmatched precision of a mouse, and runs all 
your work apps?


Some are answering this in an entirely different way:  the smartphone is 
the portable device, and when they need a more powerful computer they 
can get far more bang for the buck with a desktop machine.


I doubt this will be a dominant trend, but I'd be surprised if we didn't 
see at least a modest uptick in desktop sales by mid-2013.

Ahah!

So; while the iPad is a tablet computer, I suppose the iPad mini (trying 
to be cutesy with the

lower case M) is a PDA.

But . . .  "Every inch an iPad"

which, if you think about it, is not strictly true: it's a shrunken iPad.

And, as such, should be seen as a PDA rather than a tablet computer.

The only problem is that PDAs tend to have some sort of physical 
keyboard you can tap with a stylus or pencil, and the iPad mini will 
have about 2-3 letters under my fat fingers on its virtual keyboard, and
it is unlikely that its screen is going to take nicely to being tapped 
with a sharp pencil.


Sorry to be negative, but the iPad mini looks like something for Paris 
Hilton and all the other

posers, and not much else.



I find it almost impossible to use the on-screen keyboard on my Android
phone (I find myself yearning for an old Nokia with a numeric keypad - it
would probably be quicker to type with that inappropriate design).  But on
the 7" form-factor I find the on-screen keyboard is surprisingly usable,
with the error rate a tiny fraction of that on the phone.  Whether or not
the error rate would drop further on a 10" screen I have no desire to find
out, as it is low enough on the 7" to be a non-issue.

When I was in the market for a tablet, I predicted to my style-conscious,
Apple-everything, metrosexual friends that Apple would have to release
something in that shape.  Shortly after my purchase, Google released a
tablet in that form-factor.  So Apple is late to the party.  Steve Jobs was
probably blinded by wanting the iPad not to be anything like the Newton
(the Newton being a landmark product when he was not a Apple).
