My wife has used a Galaxy Tab exclusively for the last year, despite her laptop being an arm's length away the whole time. Tablets cater for her browsing and light email use with no problem at all, and that laptop will never get replaced.


But is that 95%? I mean, my wife likes the tablet too, but she's not using it to put her powerpoint slides together (which she is doing as we speak).


I find it odd that you demand evidence for his number, yet provide none about your claim that people will have a PC cause they hate typing on a tablet.

I don't have any hard numbers either, but people that can't touch type can often type faster using a tab with swiftkey than on a keyboard.


I didn't mean to ignore your point- a good one, by the way- I've been out of the country and without wifi computer. I could have answered you on my iPhone, but....

To my defense, I wasn't citing numbers. The 95% thing sounds like a made-up number.

To your point: I don't know exactly what swiftkey is- but it's an interesting idea that these new devices may allow a touch-typing replacement to gain traction. That could be a game-changer, I agree.

This is the main reason I can't switch to IOS from android. I type a lot on my phone, usually work related email.
