I’m not sure if I agree with this, partly because before the iPad came out there were a significant number of commentators who labelled it an XL iPod Touch that wouldn’t sell, but also because I can genuinely see a market for a very portable and touch friendly device that can run pretty much any Windows 7 and 8 software out there. Have a look, and decide for yourselves!
