Tablets and Pencils

Jon Stokes at Ars Technica:

Don’t get me wrong: I’ll always have a tablet in my life, just like I’ll always have pencils, pens, a laptop, a phone, a camera, etc. But until someone comes up with a tablet that can do something unique and special that nothing else in my life can do better — as opposed to a slightly truncated, more portable, or cheaper version of something I’m already doing with another tool — I’m probably over being truly excited about the new ones that come along.

Getting rid of my iPad made no difference in my daily workflow.
