are tablets are really a fad?

[MRU]

Who would want a 8inch phablet anyway? because it is too big to be a phone and you look stupid when you are on a phone call with it in public.

And i think phablets are fads.

By the way what is a niche product??

A device that appeals to only a certain group of users ...

Niche market. A niche market is the subset of the market on which a specific product is focused. The market niche defines the product features aimed at satisfying specific market needs, as well as the price range, production quality and the demographics that is intended to impact. It is also a small market segment.

For about 20+ years all Macintosh Computers were classed as Niche products due to their tailoring to certain professional customers and price point over the PC.

I predict gadget mania will follow the same path TV has. They will always be with us, but people will care about them less and less.

How much time do you spend thinking and talking about your washing machine? Like that.

Once foldable displays are available, tablets will disappear from one day to another....
