I’m flummoxed.
you are?
I am.
about what?
wouldn’t you like to know?
I would.
well I’ll tell you.
do tell then.
I am flummoxed about this.
you’re flummoxed about that?
I am.
You are, aren’t you.
Yes.
Why are you?
Why am I?
Yes.
I’m not sure how I feel about it.
Doesn’t that mean you’re conflicted, not flummoxed?
No.
No?
No.
Well then…
I am flummoxed about whether I should think it’s brilliant or not.
so, we go back to the whole being conflicted thing…
well, do you understand what it’s for?
yes.
what is it?
it’s a mid-platform device.
and what does that mean?
it fills a gap.
which gap?
the one that apple made.
right, exactly.
I don’t see your point.
it’s a mid-platform mobile device.
right… you know how i said ‘i don’t get your point’…
it basically does everything that apple said it would do.
but it doesn’t do so many things.
why should it?
because it’s a tablet.
so, just because it’s a tablet it should do everything in the world?
isn’t that the point of it?
no.
no?
no.
well what’s the point of it then?
it’s a mid-platform device.
…you’re losing me.
remember it fills a gap. it’s not supposed to be a laptop.
yeah but it’s lacking in so many ways.
but it also functions exactly like it should.
i don’t see how not doing something means it’s doing something.
because it’s not a laptop.
see, now you’re just going in circles.
no, I’m not.
pretty sure you are.
no. in terms of mobile portability and simplicity, it trumps a laptop.
so? you can use an iphone for that.
could you take meetings notes and make a presentation off an iphone?
well, sure…
would you really want to?
well, not really, it’s a little small.
so you see where I’m going with this.
yeah. but why not just use a laptop in the first place?
why haul around a laptop when you have a purpose built mobile tablet?
so you can present things.
but why lug around all that extra weight? this thing is perfect for meetings.
ok, i can see that
but you also have a laptop.
yeah…?
so would you use this thing at home?
i don’t know, maybe?
now do you see why I’m flummoxed?
not really… but you’re doing a good job on confusing me.
right, so I’ve done my job.
