European Tribune - Comments - Monday Open Thread

I think it's going to need some stand-out apps to regain teh sexey, and because it's a bigger, more time-consuming and more difficult platform to develop for, that's going to take a while.

I would have thought that precisely because it doesn't impose the constraints on a programmer that the iPhone does it's probably easier to develop for and much harder to write a really good app for. The iPhone forces designers to pare down to the essentials. The iPad has space for clutter.

I'd still much, much rather have an ultrathin laptop with a swivel screen so that the thing has a keyboard but also can be closed as a tablet.

En un viejo país ineficiente, algo así como España entre dos guerras civiles, poseer una casa y poca hacienda y memoria ninguna. -- Gil de Biedma
