    In reply to A Blackberry Tablet: CEO Mike Lazaridis Speaks To the Idea
    Tablets are just a notch above a gimmick. As one looking to set up a Wacom and computer combo for my art doin's, I first looked at tablet PC's to see if I could just compress these two things into one device. Even with the Wacom software, the tablet is basically an overly gimped Cintiq compared to an Intuos, so it's out of the question. Typing, file searching, media controls and other regular computing activities don't seem to be improved at all being brought into a touch screen. Since we're talking about something that takes up roughly over a square foot of surface area, there's simply no need, when toggles, keyboards and trackpads do all of these things with relative ease.


    Multitouch, on a tablet, is even more of a gimmick, if not completely. A question I've yet to find an answer for is: what is the real benefit? I've come to the conclusion that there really isn't one.

    If hobbits can add a second breakfast to fill up that vast cavernous space of no food between breakfast and brunch, surely there's a device that can fill the gap between a phone and a notebook.
