Jan Zdarsa IMicrosoft ikuqinisekisile ukuthi ngempela ibisebenza kuthebhulethi ebizwa nge-Courier, kodwa futhi yathi ayikaze iyimemezele ngokusemthethweni futhi ayinazo izinhlelo zokuyakha okwamanje. I-HP ibeka eceleni iphrojekthi yayo yethebhulethi ye-HP Slate ukuze ishintshwe.
I-Microsoft njengamanje idonsa kanzima ekulungiseni kahle i-Windows Mobile 7 yayo, futhi nokuza nesofthiwe entsha abayethule kumbono we-Microsoft Courier esikhathini esifushane akubonakalanga kungenakwenzeka ngokuphelele kusukela ekuqaleni. Ngakho-ke iMicrosoft idwebe ukunakwa okuhle ngesikhathi se-hype ezungeze i-iPad, kodwa imayelana nayo. Okungenani esikhathini esizayo esiseduze, ngeke ilethe umkhiqizo wangempela emakethe. IMicrosoft isanda kumemezela ukuthi lena bekungenye yamaphrojekthi wokudala, kepha abahleli ukuyifaka ekukhiqizweni.
Isiphetho se-HP Slate siyashintsha. Ngaphambilini, bekufanele kube idivayisi elayishwe nge-hardware enamandla (njenge-Intel processor) egijima i-Windows 7. Kodwa wonke umuntu wabuza - idivayisi enjalo ingahlala isikhathi esingakanani emandleni ebhethri? I-Windows 7 izosebenzisa izilawuli zokuthinta kanjani (okungajabulisi)? Cha, i-HP Slate ngendlela yayo yamanje izoba yisinyathelo nje, futhi bayabona ukuthi naku-HP nabo.
Kuleli sonto i-HP ithenge iPalm, inkampani ngemuva kwesistimu yokusebenza yeWebOS ethokozisayo, ngeshwa engazange isuke nhlobo. Ungase ukhumbule iPalm Pre okwakhulunywa ngayo ngonyaka odlule, kodwa idivayisi ayizange ihlangane nomphakathi. Ngakho-ke i-HP iphinda ihlole isu le-HP Slate, futhi ngaphezu kokushintsha imishini yehadiwe, kuzoba noshintsho lwe-OS. Ngicabanga ukuthi i-HP Slate izosuselwa ku-WebOS.
Okushiwo ngaphambili kuyaqinisekiswa futhi. Abanye bangase bazame konke okusemandleni abo, kodwa i-Apple njengamanje inesimo esihle kakhulu sokuqala. Iminyaka emithathu, basebenza ohlelweni lokusebenza olusekelwe kuphela ekulawuleni ukuthinta. I-Appstore isisebenze iminyaka emibili manje futhi kunezinhlelo zokusebenza eziningi zekhwalithi kuyo. Intengo ye-iPad isethwe ngendlela enolaka kakhulu (yingakho izinkampani ezifana ne-Acer zingayicabangi ithebhulethi). Futhi into ebaluleke kakhulu - i-iPhone OS iyisistimu elula kangangokuthi ngisho nezizukulwane ezincane nezindala zingakwazi ukuyilawula. Abanye bazolwa nalokhu isikhathi eside.
Futhi sesikhona. Labo abagxeke kakhulu i-iPad “ngokulinganiselwa” kwayo bayavuma ukuthi i-tablet PC ene-OS enegazi eligcwele kanye nemishini ye-HW “efuthiwe” ayinalo ithuba. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi impilo yebhethri noma ukusetshenziswa kalula/ukulawula okunembile...
Mama, kufanele ngifunde kakhulu namuhla. Kuningi okumele sikufunde. :)
Futhi uma lokhu kungekona ukunqoba, angazi ukuthi kuyini...
Yilokho engikubiza ngokuthi izindaba ezinhle. :) Leso kwakuyisikhumbuzo esiqhubekayo sokuthi i-iPad ayinamsebenzi, ake silinde i-HP Slate noma i-Courier bese lokhu. :)
Ngokubona kwami, lokhu kuyihlazo, njengoba ngale ndlela i-Apple ngeke iphoqeleke ukuthi iyifake kakhulu esizukulwaneni esilandelayo se-iPad. I-Defacto izolinda ukuze ibone ukuthi umhlaba wonke uza nakho. Kuze kube yileso sikhathi, ngeke zengeze kakhulu ekukhuthazeleni, njll.
Ngingalokotha ngithi awulungile... bekungeke kube isitayela sika-Apple :-)
lokho kuwubuwula, ngoba ukube bekunjalo, bebengeke baze bakhiphe i-iPad (uma bekumele balinde ukuthi "umncintiswano" uzoqhamuka nani)
