I'm thinking tablets need their own forum. Agree?

[KDOG]

Seems like tablets are now "exploding onto the scene" so instead of being mixed with phones it may be wise for tablets to get their own forum here on AT. Just a thought...

No, this is where it should stay. This is Gadgets Gear and Phones. Anything that's a gadget.

Hmmmm I don't know. I think its gonna be "tablet this and tablet that" here soon and this forum will be overrun with it. May be a good think to subdivide it......

I see your logic and it might be a good idea. At a minimum, GG&P is going to need a sticky for some kind of tablet FAQ thread with common models, specs, etc, a sort of one stop information thread.

LOL, I'd rather see a separate Android OS forum.

That would rock and maybe cut down on the "my OS is better than your OS oneONE111oneONE" BS

And "Official" threads for the different tablets, phones, etc...

Is there really such an overwhelming number of posts in this forum that we need to subdivide them further...?

Not yet. But thats' my point. It WILL.

I say let's cross that bridge when we come to it.

If it gets too big, put the tablet stuff in Notebooks.

Agreed. Not needed now.

 

[kaerflog]

NO.
This forum doesn't get enough traffic as it is.

There has been no major paradigm change in tablets. They will remain a niche market.

That must be why I saw 4 iPads being used in the cafeteria today.... :hmm:

+1 on the Android forum. It would be nice to have a place to discuss ROMS/hacks and other stuff. I think the iOS forum might be pale in comparison though.

So would the WebOS, WinMoPho and BBOS forums probably. With as many Android phones as there are, and the slew of mods and roms and hacks and everything else, it wouldn't surprise me if an Android subsection on its own would dwarf the rest of GG&P.

If it honestly becomes a problem, then I will talk to the overlords, see about it. but right now, its fine and I think it will continue to be so.

 

[DivideBYZero]

No to subdivision. IMO, keeping all the OSs and gadget types together stops the forum just becoming a circle jerk for fanboys.

 

[Anubis]

dissagree, the last thing this place needs is more subforums

This.
Notebooks, netbooks, and tablets belong in the same section.
