Further thoughts on the Great Net Tablet War between Apple, Google, and MS December 9, 2009 | perivision | Leave a comment Its kind of an misnomer to call these new devices Tablets, but too late for that. So I will refer to them as NetTablets indicating that these devices are not the Tablet PC’s we know of now, but instead very thin Network Slates that are designed to perform most of their tasks in the cloud. … Read More

The CrunchPad tablet is dead. Mark victom 1 in the great tablet war. November 30, 2009 | perivision | 1 Comment When I called the beginning of the tablet war in Aug, (tablet war postings) I fully expected that we would see 2 early players out the gate, TechCrunches ‘Crunch Pad’ and some sort of Android tablet, to be followed by Apple then MicroSoft.
