Why Tablets Are No Good For Business

PCWorld: Why Tablets Are No Good For Business

Tony Bradley believes Samsung’s Android-based Galaxy will add some of the needed features lacking in iPad, but still won’t be ready for business prime time.


“With the impending launch of the Samsung Galaxy Tab, Android will finally have a tablet worthy of competing against the Apple iPad. Both camps will fight vigorously in support of their respective tablet platforms, but the reality is that tablets in general have some maturing to do in order to evolve from a niche extravagance to a mainstream mobile business tool.

Don’t get me wrong, I have used my iPad in place of a netbook or notebook for a wide variety of functions since it launched. I can get and send e-mail, surf the Web, instant message, participate in online conference sessions, stay engaged with my social networks, keep track of my calendar, and create content. In truth, there are very few things that I need to do with a mobile computing device that can’t be done on the iPad.”
