This is where the choice of devices gets hard but this conflict likely means good news to Microsoft.
#Acer virtualkeyboard android#
Assuming I am right, I expect a number of cool tablets to be introduced that will be miles ahead of the current Windows based tablets and on par or slightly ahead (from a design standpoint) with the current crop of Android tablets (which in my opinion, are still inferior to the iPad 2 but are more than acceptable and useable). I think hardware product designers have an implied license to design products that challenge Apple’s grip on being design gods.
One only needs to take a look at the hot ASUS Zenbook to realize Apple’s influence over the design of competitive products. That lack of compatibility, married with new sexy hardware and an optimized version of Windows, predict only goodness for Microsoft.Īs a form factor, the iPad wins hands down over the Aspire 1420P this point is surely not lost on the hardware product designers at HP, Nokia, Dell, and, of course, Acer. Neither Pages for iOS nor Documents to Go Premium provide the kind of compatibility with Microsoft Word that I expect. As much as I love the “cool” factor when using the iPad, and as wonderful the Zaggmate keyboard is, when I’m under the gun working on documents, I choose to work on the Acer because Microsoft Office 10 is not available on the iPad. With my iPad 2, I use either the built-in virtual keyboard or the cool Zaggmate/Logitech bluetooth keyboard which also serves as a case for the iPad 2. I currently use both an Apple iPad 2 and an Acer Aspire 1420P Convertible Tablet PC, running Windows 7 (the Acer was a give-away at the 2009 Professional Developers Conference – PDC). I read an article today where Nokia is claiming that a Nokia Tablet device, running the next version of the Windows operating systems, currently code named “Windows 8,” will be available in June 2012.
