There are good reasons why an Apple iTablet wouldnit fly in the market, and recent
rumors have done nothing to convince Dr. Macenstein that heis wrong about that.
First, one has to ask who the market is for such a device and how many Apple
would sell. In the PC side, the sales of tablets constitute just 1.4 percent.
Just about the only scenario where a tablet works is when the user must stand,
say, a physician. However, doctors are more likely to use a hospital built system or,
if necessary, a pad and pencil for $3.
