UMikhal Marek Inkampani ehlaziya i-IDC ishicilele ucwaningo olusha ngoMeyi 28, lapho ibikezela khona ukuthi ukuthengiswa kwama-tablet kuzodlula ukuthengiswa kwezincwadi kulo nyaka. Lokhu kucatshangelwa kubonisa ushintsho olukhulu endleleni abathengi abasondela ngayo kumadivayisi aphathekayo. Ukwengeza, i-IDC ilindele ukuthi ngo-2015 amathebulethi amaningi azothengiswa esewonke kunawo wonke amakhompyutha aphathekayo namakhompyutha edeskithophu ehlangene.
URyan Reith ubeke amazwana ngale nqubo entsha kanje:
Okwaqala njengophawu kanye nomphumela wezikhathi ezingezinhle ngokwezomnotho ngokushesha kwaphenduka uguquko olunamandla lokuhleleka okumisiwe engxenyeni yekhompyutha. Ukuhamba nokubumbana ngokushesha kwaba yinto ehamba phambili. Amathebulethi azoshaya amakhompyutha aphathekayo ngo-2013 futhi azobusa yonke imakethe ye-PC ngo-2015. Lo mkhuba ukhomba ushintsho olukhulu endleleni abantu abasebenzisa ngayo amaphilisi kanye ne-ecosystem ewashisa. Kwa-IDC, sisakholelwa ukuthi amakhompyutha akudala azoba nendima ebalulekile kule nkathi entsha, kodwa azosetshenziswa kakhulu izisebenzi zebhizinisi. Kubasebenzisi abaningi, ithebhulethi isivele iyithuluzi elanele nelinhle lemisebenzi kuze kube manje eyenziwe ngokukhethekile kukhompuyutha.
I-iPad ye-Apple ngokungangabazeki ingemuva kwenguquko yezobuchwepheshe edale lo mkhuba kanye nemboni entsha yabathengi. Ku-IDC, nokho, baveza ukuthi ukukhula kwamanje kwamathebulethi kungenxa yenani lamathebhulethi e-Android ashibhile. Kunoma yikuphi, i-Apple ifakazele ukuthi amaphilisi ayithuluzi elisebenzayo elinezinhlobonhlobo zokusetshenziswa namandla amakhulu esikhathi esizayo. Omunye wemikhakha lapho i-iPad yenza kahle kakhulu imfundo.
Impumelelo ye-iPad kwezemfundo ibonise ukuthi amathebulethi angaba ngaphezulu kakhulu kwethuluzi lokusebenzisa okuqukethwe nokudlala imidlalo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ngenani elilokhu lincipha, ithemba lokuthi umshini onjalo - futhi ngaleyo ndlela insiza yokufunda - lizotholakala kuyo yonke ingane likhula ngokushesha. Ngamakhompiyutha akudala, into enjalo yayiyiphupho elingenakwenzeka.
Kodwa-ke, le mpumelelo enkulu yamaphilisi ayimangazi abameleli abakhulu be-Apple, abaye basho ngokuzethemba izikhathi eziningana eminyakeni edlule ukuthi amaphilisi azoshaya amakhompyutha maduzane. Ngisho nasekuqaleni kuka-2007 engqungqutheleni ye-All Thing Digital, uSteve Jobs waprofetha ngokufika kwesikhathi esibizwa nge-"Post-PC". Kuvele ukuthi naye ubeqinisile ngalokhu.
Into eyodwa yobuchwepheshe: Sengivele nginezikhathi ezintathu lapho iwebhusayithi yakho iphahlaza iSafari ku-Mac yami. Anginayo inkinga kwenye indawo ngakho ngiyangabaza ukuthi yikhompyutha. Bengilokhu ngibuka lesi sigameko selokhu wathumela leso sikhangiso esibi se-vodafone ebomvu.
Futhi ngacabanga, sengathi, kukhona lawo mabha abomvu amabi onqenqemeni, futhi lokho ukukhangisa. Kukhona ne-AdBlock.
Uma ngenza iphutha, i-PC iyikhompyutha yomuntu siqu, kodwa ngakolunye uhlangothi isho ukuhambisana kwe-IBM bese kuba yi-MAC, uma nginephutha, ngicela ungilungise.
