"One of the things I struggle with is the use of the tablet," Kurt Scherf, vice president and principal analyst with Parks Associates, told MacNewsWorld.

It is "well defined that tablets work well in vertical markets like hospitals and warehouses," Scherf noted, "but for consumers, my question is, what are they bringing to the table that notebooks or netbooks can't do?"

Nevertheless, "it seems like a lot of what Apple is doing is pushing the iPhone as a be-all device," Scherf concluded, "so this would almost seem to potentially fragment their market."
