First of all the iPod is basically dead. If you have a smartphone, why do you need a iPod?

Battery issues for some. Android users who want the Apple listening experience. Storage capacity for musicians and heavy music-listeners.

I can go on, but while you are right in saying that the iPod's role in general music listening is shrinking, it occupies a lot of niche areas. And there isn't any competition.

Next, PCs and laptops are a dying species. Tablets will soon take over all the roles traditionally taken by both. iPad is still leading the game but for how long? You already got Microsoft putting out a tablet that does everything a laptop used to do. Soon you'll see others follow suit.

Expensive as hell. Some are more expensive that laptops. PCs will never be dead because they are still the holy-grail of computing tech. There hasn't been a single device since the PC's conception to trump it for all it offers. Almost every person owns a PC for various reasons: school, development, editing, writing, etc.

iPad is imo the best tablet, but Android tablets are becoming increasingly popular because of their affordability and quality.

Also, with Google taken the first step innovation wise in terms of wearable computing, there is a chance Apple could get left behind. Remember this already happened to them. I wouldn't be surprised to see history repeat itself.

True. Apple still delivers what is in my opinion the most accessible design of any device manufacturer, but they are starting to fall behind in hardware specs on mobile phones and facing stiff competition from Android 4.1 and soon to be 4.2.2.

However, for all its worth, Apple has revenue totaling that of Google and Microsoft combined. For the time being, Apple reigns supreme.

And neither of them will ever gain a strong loyal following that the IPhone has had for the last couple years. And they will still both be outsold by the IPhone just off of pure hype anyway.

true but that only makes the people who still buy iPhones stupid


and with the way technology works, what was hot yesterday will be wack tomorrow

Apple is already losing its luster. Its no longer the hottest and trendiest product. If Google Glass takes off, which will almost certainly happen, the next generation will belong to them. Apple fukked up by not moving on wearable computing earlier. Smart phones will be ancient history in 5-6 years. Next decade will be about smart glasses, smart cars, smart clothes.

I don't own a PC and haven't owned one since 2005. All my home computing needs are met by my laptop. And soon I'll be upgrading to a tablet once a better version of the Surface Pro comes out. True those tablets that can completely replace your laptop are expensive RIGHT NOW. But remember this is technology we're talking about. What is expensive today will be chumps change tomorrow.

In 5-6 years the PC as we know it today will not be common. shyt its not as common today as it was 10 years ago. 10 years ago almost everyone had to have a PC at home. Now most people just have laptops. Tomorrow most people will have just tablets.

A laptop is a PC. I think you might mean that the desktop computer's influence is waning, which is absolutely true and has been since the laptop boom started.

Tablets are great for on-the-go usage and general productivity/networking/streaming. I don't see an end in sight for tablets as well.

However, PC sales are down also because they are lasting longer (virus issues have almost become obsolete because of increased usage of tablets/phone) and software upgrades. Windows XP and Vista can be upgraded to Windows 7 and 8; Windows 7 can be upgraded to Windows 8 and so-on. Gone and been gone are the days where you have to buy new hardware to get the newest Windows software.

Hold on..never thought about this but what if you tried to encode some files on a tablet like via Handbrake or Megui, is that possible? Never even considered it.

to make it work yall have to actually put your nose on your screen. If you're going to try this shyt at least do it right.

Some older model screens won't be able to make the conversion for the flux capacitor.

Google is on some other shyt. They running the game.
