Board 8 > Do you see a lot of people with tablets suddenly?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I don't know if it is because I'm now going to a university where people tend to have more money than my old community college, but all of a sudden, it seems like a lot of people are suddenly walking around with tablets. They are almost always iPads, as well. They seem to be slightly less common than smartphones. Although actually, I just saw someone walking around multitasking with an iPhone and an iPad at the same time (I'm actually impressed!).

I knew tablets were becoming popular, but I didn't expect a boom like that! It almost makes me wonder if I should get one, except I can't really justify carrying around a laptop, tablet, and Android smartphone.

I will always prefer a laptop, can't game on a tablet!

Hey all this is Bartz btw.

I don't see many tablets on campus, but I do see a ton in transit. Always iPads.

I live at a university too, and I've seen like 3 people with tablets. One was taking notes in class with it... lol virtual keyboard.

Another was walking around listening to it like an ipod or something

I've actually seen someone hook up a physical keyboard to an iPad and type notes. Really smart idea actually, since it is a stats class. Typing math stuff on a laptop is harder than actually writing it with a pencil or with a finger on an iPad.

No it's not because it's as big and uncomfortable as a laptop then without the advantages of a laptop

I still don't see what the use of a tablet really is, it's just a hybrid that doesn't really offer anything that other things don't

Well, it appears that he keeps the keyboard separate except for being in-class. I think it is a foldable keyboard, too.

And I agree about the use of a tablet. I see them as great for browsing the Internet, but I can't see them as being much more than an oversized smartphone that can't make calls otherwise.
