>Accessibility, particularly for the vision-impaired. Okay, I can see that being meaningful to a subset of iPad users. But I don't see that translating into the sort of revitalization of iPad sales that Carl Icahn seems...

I guess sometimes you feel like a keyboard, sometimes you don't. ;)

Accessibility, particularly for the vision-impaired.(Most tablets are too damn small IMHO; you may as well use your phone.)With larger screens boasted by the Surface Pro and, eventually, the iPad Pro, tablet makers are working...
In reply to: Re: is it an iPad or monitor?
Ha, I do like that name for it! It's hard to tell, to me it seems like an awkward size for a tablet. I guess more screen space could help for reading purposes or make certain apps easier to use. There was also some mention...
In reply to: Re: is it an iPad or monitor?
I agree with both of you. It will be hot for a while, and a lot of people will complain how expensive it is and it will fall short in some way (or many ways) and then it people won't bother anymore.

Joy Global's mining shovels are so massive that a good operator can load 400 tons of earth into a dump truck with just three swings. I think we can't even imagine the impact that this has on the environment and environmental...

In the world of Internet content, I've seen the quality of work steadily decline when writers have to come up with ridiculous amounts of copy in a short time to achieve the goal quantity for a company.

@DDURBIN1, I think Microsoft is going through some Growing Pains, since they've had to make a lot of changes but within the organization and it's business strategies to adapt to current and future demand.... and from my...

@Gigi3, while a part of me agrees that we're likely to run short of bandwidth, another part of me is convinced that we're building better bandwidth into our infrastructure at such a pace that it's likely to at least keep...

How does a larger iPad help beyond being a bit less portable?
Apple should call it iPad First Class because it will be too big to use in a cramped coach seat.
In reply to: is it an iPad or monitor?
I can see that happening. It seems like it'll be a hit among big Apple fans, gadget junkies, tech-savvy fashionistas, etc. but I don't see a great need for average consumers to buy. It's more of a nice-to-have than a mus...

My prediction is that Apple Watch will sell reasonably well, but won't really catch on. I just don't see a killer app for it.

I have to wonder about the effects of efficiency monitoring on workers. As a journalist, I know I wouldn't be too happy to be held to writing at 100 words per minute or some similar standard. I hope that the Internet of...

@DDURBIN1 No doubt there are plenty of people thinking the same thing, and I think that's why Microsoft is rolling out a few preview versions of the mobile Windows 10 before it launches. The first mobile preview recently...

I find that you can pretty much hang up on any company that calls you without any repercussions. The exceptions are so rare as to be not worth mentioning.

@Kelly22, The "free" download of Win10 is not much of a motivator in the mobile market since Microsoft has done such a terrible job of upgradablity in the past. Without a "rough" demo of a Win10 phone now how...

@mejiac, The Lumia phones are now actually quite good. The 640 XL is 5.7 inches same as the Note 4 but pales in comparison. The additional code volumne from XP to Win8 is only about 18%. ...

@mejiac absolutely. I think the stronger focus on cloud in Windows 10 will make a big difference in productivity, with people collaborating all over the world.

InformationWeek Tech Digest, Dec. 9, 2014Apps will make or break the tablet as a work device, but don't shortchange critical factors related to hardware, security, peripherals, and integration.
Building a Mobile Business Mindset
The differences between mobile apps and conventional Windows clients, or even web applications, are far more than skin deep. Yes, the touch-versus-keyboard interface, APIs, and programming languages are new, but that’s arguably the easy part. There are profound differences in how the two are built, the functionality each prioritizes, the release cycles on which they’re developed — even the attitudes, values, and work styles of the developers creating them.
