Air meets iPad

Air meets iPad This research note got to me Friday from Ashok Kumar, an analyst at Rodman & Renshaw. "Signs of cannibalization: There does exist anecdotal evidence that this MacBook Air is cannibalizing the iPad. A fully functional notebook a very attractive form factor can be resonating more with consumers when compared with a content consumption only device."

That "content consumption only device" being the iPad, after all.

So, is that this won't right after the iPad meets the 11.6-inch MacBook Air? Consumers walk away lipstick stun gun considering the MacBook instead?

If only slightly true, can be a interesting twist within a trend that's actually going from your other direction. Nvidia believes next-generation Android tablets will obviate necessity for traditional laptops, astablets be more good at multitasking and to approach the cheapest stun guns processing power of low-end laptops.

And hybrids pepper spray for sale choose this argument seemingly irrelevant. The Windows-based Dell Duo fuses a laptop which includes a tablet. In the event that method of design proves popular, who wants a boring, old traditional laptop?

For now, the smaller MacBook Air stun gun cell phone looks and feels nearly the same as an iPad with a built-in keyboard. Until we're well into 2011, we cannot stun gun cell phone know who's cannibalizing whom. But my prices are to the tablet doing the devouring. On the iPad in the lead.
