good point! counterpoints:
1. fold is godsend for commute/travel/restaurant/club/etc. tablet is nonstart. 2. one device = one device to learn/optimize.
also, there's something deeply elegant about starting with the outer screen for quick stuff, then unfolding when it's gonna be a minute...
I'm in nyc, and it's delightful to use slab-mode standing up, then sitting down and unfolding, like it's a Harry Potter moving newspaper...
Also, showing off my photos on the fold is a joy.
Why do I need a big screen device for a restaurant or club again? Shouldn’t I be enjoying the restaurant or club? Wouldn’t the heaviest and most fragile phone in Apple’s lineup be a poor choice for a club?
Is it hard to learn an iPad compared to an iPhone? What learning or optimizing am I needing to do? Am I unable to sync information between my iPad and iPhone in some way?
I can stand up my phone or tablet with a $20 case.
What problem is the Harry Potter moving newspaper solving? Is that worth $2,000 plus $200/year for AppleCare so you don’t get caught paying for a $1,000 screen replacement?
