Hi Nick, this leads me to the issue how much people use tablet computers and for what usage? A friend said that lot's of her workmates don't use their PCs and Laptops anymore, but an iPad instead. None of them is using an Android tablet computer. Personally I don't know anybody who owns a tablet computer, neither Android based, nor an Apple. Only one friend is exited that I won such a thingy, the others advice me to play a little bit with the iPad and then I should sell it. Are those tablet computers just a fashion or are they forerunners of what we all will use in the future? Stability? Hazardous waste? I guess to much people will through away their tablet computers and get a new one, much before the batteries are dead. PCs and Laptops IMO are used a while longer. Some friends and I already stopped using mobile phones. There's nothing wrong with using a mobile phone. I just want to say that there's not only a trend pro such tools. Some people don't like to be interconnected all the time.
