Why Tablets Haven't Taken Off In Business

An anonymous reader writes "On PC World's blog, Keir Thomas suggests reasons why tablets have never taken off in business, and explains how Apple's iPad was able to waltz in and steal the entire market. It's all about giving users freedom to figure out how useful tablets can be, he says, rather than forcing them into narrow usage scenarios: 'There's a lot to be said for having faith in users to make best use of their computer, without pushing and pulling them in ways you think are best for them.'"

go to an anderoid tablet for that. This is a consumer product that wants to mantain a consumer image.
But this article is about tablets being used in business environments. You just negated the entire point of the article if you're claiming Android tablets are for business and iPads are for pleasure.

BTW, does your iPad not have spellcheck either?
