Kwiveki ephelileyo iinkampani ezimbini eziphambili zetekhnoloji (i-Apple kunye neMicrosoft) zibonise iimveliso zazo kwimisitho emibini ukuze zikhuphisane kwiimarike kwiinyanga ezizayo, ngakumbi kwixesha elibalulekileyo leKrisimesi. Ewe, iichops zithathe ixesha elincinci ukuqalisa. Ewe Tim Cook ihlawuliswe ngoLwesihlanu ophelileyo umphandle ngokuba, ngamazwi we-CEO ye-Apple, ilinganiselwe kwaye iyabhida. Ngoku USteven sinofsky Quien buyisela kwi-apile.
Ukhuphiswano kushishino lweetablet lukwincopho yalo ngoku. Sikwindawo apho ngokuqinisekileyo inkampani enye okanye ezimbini zinokuseka (okanye zigcine) ukongama kwazo ngaphezulu kwezinye, ukuba zifumana imveliso yazo phakathi kwenani elikhulu lezixhobo ezibekwe kwintengiso ngoku. Nangona kunjalo, umzabalazo awuhlali kuphela kwiimpawu zokuthelekisa zombini izixhobo. Ngemihla yokugqibela iidayi ziyaphaphazela phakathi kweenkampani ezahlukeneyo ezinomdla kwicandelo.
Yinto eyenzekayo yemihla ngemihla kubalandeli bophawu ngalunye ukuba bangene kwiiforamu kunye namaphepha akhethekileyo kwitekhnoloji, kodwa akuqhelekanga ukubona indlela abalawuli bezinye iinkampani bagcina iimfazwe zabo zedialectical ngokuthe ngqo okanye ngokungathanga ngqo. Kumsitho wonikezelo lwe iPad Mini y iPad 4, uTim Cook wayengenazintloni ngokuthelekisa ubungakanani besikrini sethebhulethi yakhe ye-8-intshi kunye ne-Nexus 7 okanye xa esithi izicelo Android kumacwecwe ayengaphantsi kancinci kune-birria. Kwiintsuku ezimbalwa kamva nayo ibekwe ityala Microsoft Surface, ngokuba sisindululo esibhidayo.
Ewe, ngeli xesha iApple kuye kwafuneka ifumane. Vula Microsoft baqinisekile ukuba umphandle Ixuba ezona iiPC kunye neetafile kwaye kuloo mbono baseka isicwangciso sabo sokuthengisa. Ithebhulethi yakho inantoni na iPad, ukukwazi ukusebenza ngeenkqubo zedesktop eziqhelekileyo zobomi kwaye ukwazi ukuyenza njengoko yenziwe ubomi bonke, ngebhodi yezitshixo kunye ne mouse. USteven sinofsky, efuna ukuqinisa esi sikhundla kunye nokuhlambalaza imbangi, itshilo ukuba iPad Mini sisixhobo ibiza kakhulu ukuba nje ube ukusetyenziswa kokuzonwabisa kwaye inike i-Apple apho ibuhlungu kakhulu ngokuyibiza ngokuthi "i-tablet ye-intshi ye-7," abantu baseCupertino bayayigatya ngokungqongqo loo nto.
