<p>Realistically, I don&#8217;t think keyboards are obsolete. I was hoping the iPad would be a less expensive alternative to Jazzmutant&#8217;s <a href="http://www.jazzmutant.com/lemur_overview.php" title="jazzmutant lemur" target="_jmlemur">Lemur</a> or <a href="http://www.jazzmutant.com/dexter_overview.php" title="jazzmutant dexter" target="_jmdexter">Dexter</a>, but&#8230; it&#8217;s just not happening without the proper inputs and outputs and it&#8217;s just not happening without a proper OS.</p>

<p>There is a lot of hype forming around the iPad, but iWonder how it&#8217;s better than a regular hackintosh tablet PC. iThink things will probably improve by the second generation, but iDoubt Apple will be the only one in the market by then.</p>

<h3>September 28, 2010: Announcing more interoperable tablet computers&#8230;</h3>
<p>Here&#8217;s Research in Motion (RIM) annoucing another potential iPad competitor &#8220;PlayBook&#8221; a slightly smaller, thinner, lighter weight Tablet excepted to hit the market March 2011. Samsung&#8217;s galaxy is supposed to be $200-300. RIM target&#8217;s a corporate/government user base for the Playbook, but the price hasn&#8217;t been announced yet. I&#8217;m guessing it will be more $$ than the Galaxy, but maybe not more than the iPad. but the RIM device should help RIM pick up some revenue that they&#8217;re not getting in the smartphone market if they really sell the 6,000,000 Playbooks they expect to. The interesting thing is that&#8230; it&#8217;s a bit more interoperable. You can plug in [:<br />

<p>From the commuter student or bike-riding user perspective, it&#8217;s nice not to have to carry as many books.</p>
