Columnist anticipates table
PBS columnist Robert Cringely says there is an , and such a device might "finally be that link between your PC and TV." Cringely suggests that Apple create a tablet geared toward graphics designers: "They will become must-have gizmos in graphics departments everywhere. It's Apple's BMW strategy all over again, and virtually guarantees at least modest success." For Apple to have "more than modest success" it must appeal to more than the professional market: "The tablet PC killer app for the mass market is functioning as a digital hub [...] It's the idea that your computer ought to control your TV and your stereo and your VCR."
Yeah...

I posted first - 3 minutes before you. Are you some sick editor who always has to be first, and resets the comments to further your mission?

This Cringely bloke read some article in a Tawainese newspaper and heard about UWB and some how came up with a longwinded and hard to follow article that is nothing more than a bunch of c***.

... considering current tablets aren't selling to my knowledge. So either this guy's clueless or really thinks Apple could do it right and make one that would sell.

This is not the real Robert Cringely, although both are quite g**.
While the real Cringe is at least slightly amusing to read, the fake one is a jelly-anussed dickweed without a scrap of originality.
No one should buy into his obviously misguided thoughts about an Apple tablet PC. It seems quite clear to me that he had Straight Eye on the telly and was fiddling with a chubby when he wrote this s***.
