The Macalope Weekly: Climb every mole hill

22.07.2012
Yes, thats the anthem of todays technology pundit! No piece of evidence is too small to make a mountain out of! iPads lack bloated applications popular in the 1990s? Enterprise fail! Some site youve never heard of before says the iPhones coming in just weeks? Apple must be afraid of Samsung! Windows Phone devices sell better on one site than some other phones? They must be selling awesome!

When , he was telling us how the Android tablet wave was coming any day nowjust you wait!and how Googles acquisition of Motorola spelled iPhone doom! (His words!)

Well, hes back, this time declaring the (). The Register: All the hyperbole, without all the fattening logic!

Asay exhorts Microsoft to seize the day (two-plus years after Apple introduced a tablet that people actually wanted to use) and take back the enterprise night! Or something.

Apple has given us much with its pleasing-on-the-eye iPad. But what it hasnt given us is a serious replacement for the lowly laptop or desktop. As much as magazines like MacWorld [sic] may hype it as The New Business Machine, the reality is that the iPad is only enterprise-ready in iFantasyLand.
