Comment on Apple iPad vs. Tablet PC: A Comparison by Josh

Hi Jay,

I did mention it in my post, but probably could have given it a little more weight. While Microsoft certainly has a head start with programs like One Note, I’m still waiting to see how well a capacitive stylus for the iPad might work and what kind of software developers create to enhance note taking. I personally don’t take as many notes as I used to with my Tablet, but for one particular iPad target market, students, it could become a major issue.

Great comparison, but I think not enough emphasis was placed on one of the tablet pc’s main advantages: extended note-taking abilities. The handwriting recognition in Vista and W7 is phenomenal, and the inking with these EM digitizer-supported tablets is very precise and seamless, and thus the writing experience is extremely natural, as if you’re using traditional pen and paper. So far, it seems like the iPad will be very limited in this area, as anyone who’s ever tried to use any touchscreen-only device for extended hand-written note-taking can attest to (i.e., due to palm rejection and general stylus precision/resolution issues). Hopefully, some 3rd party developers can come up with a good workaround for this inherent shortcoming, because I think the iPad seems pretty amazing otherwise.

Very impressive comparison.. I can see tablet PC is better in all terms but still IPAD is cool and in fashion..

You conclude that the iPad competes with eReaders and netbooks, but I have to disagree. A netbook can multitask, load flash websites and has a keyboard allowing users to write long documents quickly.

As for competing with an eReader such as the Kindle, Apple obviously don’t realise the reason people print out large documents to read, it is because it’s much easier to read text on paper compared to a backlit screen. Reading 100 pages of a book with led-lights firing into your eyes is not comfortable. In this regard, the Kindle still wins.

I’m disappointed the iPad failed in every regard.

Hi Pietro,

I’m assuming you are requesting a copy of the C# source code used to create this tool. Right now, I am unable to make it available, but I may be able to release it in the future.
