Again. Let me reiterate. I am talking about enterprise level development. Think about large corporations with a particular function that they can mobilize and keep fully functional because of a piece of hardware, not geeks buying apps from the iTunes store.
Turn on CNBC one year from now and look at all the suits traversing the floor of the exchange...iPad in hand streaming quotes and allowing them the mobility needed to do their job...better.
Camera is missing - agreed. It's not about features on the hardware though. It's about the implementation. Killer app of the 90's was email. Blackberry changed the game and evolved email from the killer app that it was to the KILLER app that it is today. It wasn't about what was on the device...it was about how it was implemented with the Exchange Server. Again...implementation, not necessarily feature set.
In my prognosticating way, I am 'seeing' this thing change the way people work...not as yet another tool to do their work.
tick tock.
looks like I'm not the only one who thinks this...
*edit* I think part of the problem is that people in this forum are so ingrained in technology and so opinionated about what they want in a mobile computing tool, we're not seeing this thing for what it is. It's not a big iPhone minus the phone. It's not a keyboard-less laptop. It's something unabashedly new.
