Microsoft's Killer Tablet Opportunity
snydeq writes "Advice Line's Bob Lewis sees ripe opportunity for Microsoft in the tablet market: Forget about outdoing Apple's iPad and give us the features that finally improve the way we work. 'The game isn't beating Apple at its own game. The magic buzzword is to "differentiate" and show what your technology will do that Apple won't even care about, let alone beat you at. One possible answer: Help individual employees be more effective at their jobs,' Lewis writes, outlining four business features to target, not the least of which would be to provide UI variance, enabling serious tablet users to expose the OS complexity necessary to do real work."
...How large is the market for such a tablet going to be?
The mobile professionals in need for more muscular arms or faster legs - either carry the extra weight of the batteries or to put the tablet in the dock to recharge it.
Questions raise, answers kill. Raise questions to stay alive.
consumers could care less
No they couldn't. Consumers don't care about accessing company files.
if they really wanted to help employees be more effective at their jobs, they should take away those damn color PCs and tablets and put back the VT terminals.
TFA in other words:
It is mission critical to have a holistic integration on next generation value-added enterprise, while eating your own dogfood and leveraging the core granular competencies to bring the sustainability to the customers.
Bitch, pahhhleaz!
"Americanizm"
I believe that using American as a synonym for illiterate is not considered politically correct these days...
