Ow! I think someone needs to switch to decaf. I think the phenomenal growth of the desktop, year-over-year, is dead. I think a lot of adults, teens and kids who keyboard all day are going to use voice, gestures and touch to surf, watch cat videos, tweet, facebook (yes, it's been verbized), read ebooks, buy stuff on Amazon, etc. The era of desktop computers for home is going to dwindle. Gamers will still want souped-up boxes. A lot of travelling workers can use tablets. A lot of non-intensive data entry (checking off items on a list) are going to move from clipboards and printouts and laptops and specialty handhelds to tablets. Pads are going to replace a LOT of machines over the next decade. I'm guessing Apple, Android, W-eight, Win, Place and Show, but it's a horse race, so you never can tell... It could be an interesting place to build apps. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/cacw6n4vddssxxae9anvj0wgj2c4dwk21k4ndge+emhqeovn...@mail.gmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
