"ipad may indicate that personal computing will begin a major transformation," not long ago in an interview with Xinhua News Agency reporters, the United States Silicon Valley senior analyst Rob Endler expressed this view. He believes that although the ipad will eventually bring about the impact of personal computing development is still difficult to say, but the rise of the tablet represented by ipad, the significance may be as much as the popularity of traditional personal computers. Enderle said that the ipad has attracted a lot of attention because it relies heavily on the Internet or the so-called "cloud", to the extent that it is the first "cloud terminal" that is really investing in large-scale applications. This feature may prompt the industry to change its mindset, for example, to seriously think about whether to concentrate processing power in computing devices or whether to put more processing power into the “cloudâ€. Looking at the issue from another perspective, ipad may not only cause the IT industry to adjust product development, but also may prompt manufacturers to re-examine the market. For example, many manufacturers may think that people’s demand for traditional laptops and even smart phones will decline in the future, and they will use more information that can be connected to the Internet, can be carried anywhere, and provide information related to their own health. New device. Enderle pointed out that compared with smart phones, ipad displays are much larger, and are more suitable for the needs of Internet browsing. Because ipad can provide an ideal online experience, this may lead people to use traditional personal computers less and less. Tablet PC is not a completely new concept. Apple and Microsoft have tried for more than 10 years. However, none of the products have become popular. Experts once said that the field between traditional laptops and mobile phones is like a "Bermuda Triangle" for manufacturers. Such products developed are often muddled into the sea and "disappeared from the radar screen." Ipad can be said to be born from time to time. The cost of components such as processors, batteries, and displays required for tablet PCs has fallen significantly in recent years, making it possible to make consumer-affordable tablet products. The growing maturity of multi-touch technology and increasingly stronger battery life have also provided technical support for developing more powerful, lighter, and more convenient tablet computers. In addition, as personal computers are becoming more and more in people's lives, people increasingly cannot live without the Internet, and they are more and more accustomed to digitally accessing information and other contents, making it easier for consumers to accept tablets. Enderle believes that the advent of tablet computers is to meet the needs of people who want computers to be easy to use. He said that since the day the personal computer was born, some people have suggested that if the computer can be used as easily as a telephone. "People have always hoped that computers can become devices that don't have to worry too much about refrigerators. Compared with traditional PCs, ipad is obviously closer to this goal," said Enderle.
