I just saw a tweet about the new Applet Tablet, and immediately thought of my good buddy Martin.  He’s one of those people who actually like Macs (shhh…. I’ve thought about getting one… don’t tell anybody…).  He said to me:

“The only thing I’m worried about is that it’s too much like a large iPhone, because that would be weird.”

This was too good to let go, so can I get away with a few jokes?  Maybe it’s a jumbo iPhone, for use with your jumbo calculator.

No, no, maybe it’s more like a foam finger.

 

To be fair, I think Apple has a really good thing going.  Pick one thing, and do it really well.  They already have probably THE best phone on the market with tons of people using them.  Touch screen on the iPhone is unmatched.  I own a Samsung Omnia, and the damn thing frustrates me to no end.  I usually close my eyes and try to trick myself into thinking I’m using an iPhone.
