*Personally I have my Desktop (w7), my Laptop (w7), my Tablet (Android) and my Phone (android). *
I've learnt what the "analysts" and "bloggers" have not.
a Tablet and a Phone are great assistants. but, trying to do serious work on them? if you like being held back. Limited by Ram, CPU power, small screens, non tactile inputs (a glass screen vs a full keyboard), limited to no expandability... oh and problems with upgrading your OS - eg my Phone can run Ice Cream Sandwich.... if Samsung adapt it. they won't tho, since that won't sell another phone, so we're stuck with Gingerbread....and yet, no desktops and mobile devices only are the "future" according to these people.
looking at the chromebooks, nice idea.... until you see they rely on the cloud.
apart from all the rest of the arguments about the cloud, has no one else thought of the fact the Cloud is vulnerable to being taken down by those that don't like it? eg the RIAA and MPAA.. they hate the cloud with a passion. it lets users share things. they were strong voices in the take down of megaupload...
you just know they'll target cloud services more and more... Fuck the legit users, we nuke the entire service !
