Why you will not buy the iPad 2

The most radical thing the Wizard of Cupertino [ iWorship his shadow] could do with the iPad 2 , is actually make it a full blown mac pro convertible . That would knock the wind out of both the netbook and laptop competitions  sails/sales.


And if you think about it , if the iPad was the netbook done right , and  took out the netbook market , then tackling the laptop market with a convertible macpro, maybe the best way for Apple to stay ahead and leapfrog the gathering herd of tablet sheep that will be bleating incessantly  at potential customers by the time iPad 2 is rumoured and announced.


It could release the iPad 2 as a full blown laptop macbook pro convertible , with i7 cpu , and REAL gpu , and computing power. 


This would also strengthen  its iPod market , which the iPad and iPad 2  could eat into if the only major difference that  remains is screen size.


And this goes for the many upcoming and totally underpowered cpu wise  Windows7 tablets .


Every tablet manufacturer seems to hook the finest touch screen display to an underpowered motherboard , populated with sub smart phone cpu and gpu power . 


Use any tablet , and after being charmed for a while you will soon see the shortcomings , the lack of RAM , cpu power , multitasking , connectivity , open OS , and as some one once said before exploding spectacularly near a a fully functioning Death Star , there`s too many of them.


Android 1.5,Android 2.2 , Android 3 , iOS , Windows 7 premium , 5 inch 7 inch 10 inch 9.7 inch, and many still vaporware.


Nearing the first years end of tablet usage many people will realise instead of throwing down another $1200 on another underpowered and closed tablet ,  it`s better to go the full laptop convertible route.We like touch , but we would like to be ....POWERFUL 


You can already get a HP touch smart for $829  , with an i3 cpu 6gb ram too much HDD , and Windows 7 , swivel the screen around and you have an infinitely more useful machine than my iPad , JooJoo, and Libretto W100 , [ although the  cool factor of the W100 is off the scale]. 


Is this crazy ? Well consider , the user by the time the iPad 2 is due will have exhausted the usefulness of the present slate form factor . It will not be enough to stick 2 cameras on front and back ,up the ssd to 128 gb , and double the ram,gpu,cpu  then sell for $999


Because at that time I will be wiser , probably having mothballed my tablet dalliance , and be able to buy an i7 touch screen convertible laptop ,for less money, how is Apple going to convince me not to go that way ? 

Oh and the also rans , well if Apple cannot tempt me what chance have you ?


So come on Steve , pick up the gauntlet , start the real tablet revolution  , take on the laptop and not just the netbook form factors.

Every body is going crazy for slates thanks to the iPad , why not give them what they really need !
