Sharlin So what’s the Apple tablet then?
Creative Director It’s probably some sort of touch screen tablet computer
S I don’t get it
CD Well, you know a PDA…
S The boxy thing with a pen at the top?
CD It’s more like a small computer you can press with your finger
S You’re going to need good nails!
CD Think of it like a big iphone
S I’m not keen on that
CD What!? So there’s no need for a tablet?
S No, they don’t need to invent it, it’s just a waste of money. They just need to scrap it. They haven’t invented it have they? I won’t be buying one.
CD Ok, well, urm ,think about an Ereader
S Oooh, I want an Ereader
CD Ok, but now imagine if that Ereader could also browse the internet, play films, have all your photos and music, a load of different apps, as well as an interactive keyboard. So what do you reckon, do you want one now?
S Yeah, I do.
CD But I thought you said it was a waste of money?
S Yeah, but now I know it can do all those things, I want one. I’m going to go out and buy one.
So there you have it folks. No one really knows what the Apple tablet is going to look like or how it will operate, but one thing’s for sure…our receptionist is sure as hell going to go out and get one.
