Re: Google helps with tablet internet cafe concept trial in Senegal

Interesting concept. However i see some concerns already. First of all is security, its very difficult to secure these devices as by their nature they are made to be portable. Second problem is the issue of ability to use the tablet. For those that know how to use a tablet, its straight forward, for those that don't know, its a pain using that thing. I've given my tablet to many to try and use and they always end up swearing. Of course this can be fixed by referring them to the desktops.
Thirdly, despite all efforts to make their screens and tablets very strong, these expensive gadgets are very prone to getting damaged easily. Drop it and that lovely huge screen is gone. Not to mention the ugly fingerprints all over the screen (yes i know, u can hv a piece of cloths to clean the screen, but u get my point).
In addition to being fragile, these devices are also very expensive. For the price of a 10inch Galaxy tab or IPad, you can get two very good PCs with big screens with a keyboard mouse and speakers.
Besides this..... seems like a good idea. Its good to move with the times
