Steve Jobs Dismisses 7 Inch iPad, Attacks Rival Tablets

Posted by S. Alexander on October 20, 2010 Leave a comment (85) Go to comments

Just as Apple revealed its stunning financial results, Steve Jobs took his time and attacked the other tablet makers. Also, Apple’s boss dismissed once and for all the rumors concerning the 7 inch iPad. In case you didn’t know, Apple shipped over 4.1 million iPad units over the last quarter, so it’s got some solid ground to talk about slates.

Jobs considers seven inch tablets “tweeners” and he’s sure that they can’t compete with the iPad, since they’re basically bigger phones. Also, Apple’s guru considers 7 inch slates dead from the start, specially if they have Android 2.2 on board, an OS that even Google deemed unfit for tablets. Gingerbread will change the game, but Apple’s CEO is quite right with all his claims.

Continuing to speak on these matters, Jobs mentioned that he sees Android as a fragmented experience, while iOS is not a closed platform, but rather an “integrated experience”. We’ll possibly hear some replies from tablet makers to match his harsh words over the next days.

Hey guys i want to share with you a way i make $500 daily and i only spend 15 minutes doing it a day! Anyone can do it, you dont NEED to have a website. I strongly suggest you check their site out as there is really a brilliant video that explains each thing you need to know. Check them out at Mobile Monopoly.

Thing you are talking about seems sensible. Yet, consider this, suppose you added a little more? I mean, I don’t want to teach ways to run your blog, but what if you added more stuff which can certainly get people’s awareness? Simply like a online video or maybe a image or even few to have viewers interested about what youve got to say.

What you said made . However, think about this, let’s say you integrated a little bit more? What i’m saying is, I don’t tend to teach how to run ur blog, however what if you actually added something that can easily grab peoples particular attention? Just like a video or a picture or perhaps two to have viewers excited regarding what youve got to say.

Can I have a suggestion? I believe you have had sth great here. But let’s suppose you offered some links towards a website that backs up what you are you said? Or simply you might give us something to look at, something that would associate what you’re saying, something concrete?
