Honestly - I think there is VAST Potential for Developers to create specialized Apps for Tablets.
For example - 2 instances I have come across in the past # of years. Doctors. Instead of tons of notes & paperwork on a patient - data on the tablet & recording the current issues of the patient visit - seems to be a prime example of a good use for Tablets. Some years ago when I was with my son at the Pediatrician - the Dr. had a mobile device - although at the time - I think it was a device closer to size of a PDA or a Smart phone. With that device the Dr. could send a prescription request to a Pharmacy immediately. Second - Sales. More specifically. When I was last working for a SW co. in the Fashion Industry - located in the Fashion District of NYC - I was working on a Desktop App for processing of Orders - as well as doing EDI. But, they had a smaller App that could be used by Sales People to take orders from Customers onsite. Like at Trade Shows or Trunk Sales. Of course, these are potential customers for a Store - and thus like Wholesale type orders. AT the time, we were going to change the App so that you could use a Scanner and scan a Bar Code on a Tag - to help expedite the sales process. So - in this instance - a Tablet is perfect!

Yeah, developers are a tiny percentage of the zillions of users of computers. Scientists need huge displays for data visualization, financial traders for complex displays, etc. Many other folks are running their business just fine on tiny screens for email, texts, hard as it is to believe, Word docs and spreadsheets. Mobile is all the rage. While I see some utility in it, for a lot of folks it's just playing Angry Birds in meetings and tweeting on company time, imo. And get off my lawn! When I was repairing a couple of my machines, I was doing dev on the ASUS Transformer. Teeny 10" screen, but 1366x768 was actually better resolution than the old XGA we thought of as the cat's pajamas lo those many years ago, and a keyboard that made me scrunch my fingers together. I would prefer a pair of 24" 1920x1080 screens, though. On Thu, Aug 27, 2015 at 7:09 AM, Allen <[email protected]> wrote: > I dont think I will be developing on a tablet for a while.
