Gee, I wonder why #Android tablets are less popular than the #iPad!
In all seriousness an #Android tablet can basically do anything an #iOS tablet can do, but there's poor marketing about how #Android tablets are to be used, and I think people are somewhat misguided on what the optimal form factor is for an #Android tablet as well.

MAC's and iOS have a much reduced scope of operation. They focus on what they do well, which is mostly household chores. Doesn't try to be too many things to too many people.

you could do pro audio on windows 3.1
same with CAD design.
the days of powerful computing is past us, now it's all relegated to interface.

@Moon @icedquinn @magicalthinking You could on #Android too if they made an app for it

Steve Jobs would never have made that thing.

@magicalthinking @Moon @icedquinn I'm not sure that I can agree with you on that one

@magicalthinking @Moon @icedquinn I don't think he'd have made the #iPhoneX either.
But the point is, there is still plenty of innovation to be had in the hardware space.

A lot of what Jobs did was copied from iconic designs and philosophy. The Braun record player, B&O use of materials, even his affinity for calligraphy. He was a classy guy who paid attention to detail. I heard a story about microsoft engineers taking apart an ipod and finding a speaker inside. It's only function was to play the click for the clickwheel. "We could never do something like that." they remarked.

@magicalthinking @Moon @icedquinn Well that's what the majority of #VR was going to do anyway
I think the legacy of the #VisionPro will be: the future is #AR, not #VR, and until a nice for #VR and #AR is found, these devices should be treated less like game systems and more like computers.

Someone was going to make the iPod, and the iPhone, and their form factor changed the industry forever.
I don't know what the vision pro will wrought for this sad world. I see it as an ill omen for the lonely.

@icedquinn @magicalthinking @Moon I think #VR makes sense for gaming, although you're still right.
I'd consider #VR for gaming if the headsets could work without an external game console. But I'm not going to buy two expensive devices for one experience.

I saw the vision pro as a moment of clarity. Someone is going to do this and get it right, might as well be us.
Musk beat them to the Apple car, they couldn't let Zuckerberg take VR.

@icedquinn @magicalthinking @Moon I don't like him as much. With the #VisionPro it's clear that #Apple is innovating under him, but not nearly as much as it did with #SteveJobs.

@icedquinn @magicalthinking @Moon Anything more expensive than $1K won't fly at all unless you're talking about enterprise hardware.
$750 is a reasonable price for a wholistic, #PS4-equivalent gaming experience in #VR.

@romin @icedquinn @magicalthinking @Moon It's not their fault that the economy sucks though, to be fair

Lol.
Where?
China is the only place you can build them and they'll just steal all the IP.

@magicalthinking @icedquinn @Moon Well okay, there are actually two ways that #Apple could go with this, that I see:
1) Build the car, in the #USA because they don't want the tech to be stolen
2) Collaborate with one or more existing American vehicle companies, like #Chevrolet, where they provide the self-driving tech like sensors and programming logic, and the auto manufacturer builds out all the car stuff

@magicalthinking @icedquinn @Moon #Apple's still gonna make that car BTW
