我并不想成為一個(gè)反對機(jī)械化的盧德分子(Luddite)，但我猜想自己對于平板電腦并沒有太強(qiáng)烈的熱情。 我每周大約有45小時(shí)的時(shí)間都得用我的“小紅點(diǎn)”筆記本電腦來工作，平常有空時(shí)也同樣用這臺筆電漫游于網(wǎng)絡(luò)世界中。當(dāng)然，我也和大部份的人一樣，外出時(shí)大多數(shù)的時(shí)間都盯著我的智能手機(jī)──但我發(fā)誓開車時(shí)絕對不當(dāng)?shù)皖^族！ 感謝Google，我現(xiàn)在終于有了一臺新款Nexus 7手機(jī)平板(phablet)。昨晚臨睡前還玩了這臺手機(jī)平板好一陣子，它真的很有趣。我甚至還觀看了一段視頻──美國總統(tǒng)奧巴馬(Obama)發(fā)表對黑人平民遭白人警察搶殺一事的看法，這是我最近一周來一直想看的內(nèi)容。

但我不確定(但也不會太驚訝)在經(jīng)過一段時(shí)間后，自己是否會對目前覺得很棒的這款產(chǎn)品開始感到厭倦。坦白說，在經(jīng)過一天的使用后，我的眼睛和手指已經(jīng)有些疲勞了。我現(xiàn)在只想擺脫任何有屏幕的電子設(shè)備，彈彈我的吉他、散散步，出門喝點(diǎn)小酒(當(dāng)然也不忘看看我的智能手機(jī))。 記得在幾年前，我曾經(jīng)有過一臺三星(Samsung)的首款A(yù)ndroid平板電腦。當(dāng)時(shí)也覺得它很好玩，只不過它的軟件讓人感到有點(diǎn)擔(dān)心。我后來很大方地把它這款平板電腦給了我兒子，不過，他后來還打電話來問能不能賣掉這臺平板，他想用這筆錢來換掉汽車的輪胎。 當(dāng)我答應(yīng)他后不由得笑了。我覺得他可能是個(gè)盧德分子之子。不過，他也活躍于社群網(wǎng)絡(luò)、喜歡他的華碩(ASUS) Bamboo筆記本電腦和iPhone 4 。 本文授權(quán)編譯自EE Times，版權(quán)所有，謝絕轉(zhuǎn)載 本文下一頁：在一些沒有Wi-Fi的地方平板更顯得多余

{pagination} 大約在同一時(shí)間，我手邊還有兩臺用于寫產(chǎn)品試用報(bào)告的BlackBerry Playbook 。其實(shí)，我認(rèn)為它的軟件在許多方面都比三星Galaxy Tab更復(fù)雜，而且也缺少email功能。后來，我給了我兒子一臺(這次他應(yīng)該沒拿去賣掉吧？)，另外一臺還好好地躺在包裝盒中。 當(dāng)我在家時(shí)，多半時(shí)間都坐在筆記本電腦前或使智能手機(jī)，有空時(shí)則彈吉他、彈鋼琴或看電視。有時(shí)我也喜歡看看書或雜志。外出時(shí)，平板電腦或甚至新買的這臺7寸手機(jī)平板其實(shí)都太大了，不方便外出攜帶，甚至在一些沒有 Wi-Fi 的地方更顯得多余。 我經(jīng)常閱讀或撰寫科技新聞，也積極參加相關(guān)的產(chǎn)業(yè)活動，當(dāng)然了解平板電腦令人興奮之處，也知道它有多么吸引人。更何況我還是個(gè)充滿好奇心的人，最喜歡玩這些新奇的產(chǎn)品。 但是，在一天接近尾聲時(shí)，我更渴望一些盡量不必使用屏幕的設(shè)備與時(shí)間，任何平板電腦終究都沒法持續(xù)吸引我的注意。我想我好一陣子都不會花300美元去買這一類的產(chǎn)品了。 難道是我的問題嗎？ 本文授權(quán)編譯自EE Times，版權(quán)所有，謝絕轉(zhuǎn)載 編譯：Susan Hong 參考英文原文：Tablets Are Cool, I Just Don't Use Them，by Rick Merritt, SiliconValley Bureau Chief

{pagination} Tablets Are Cool, I Just Don't Use Them Rick Merritt, SiliconValley Bureau Chief I hate to play the Luddite again, but I guess I don't get all the excitement about tablets. I get a hearty helping of screen time at work on my Lenovo notebook -- 45+ hours a week. I supplement that liberally with daily web crawls for my personal life on the same system. While I am out and about I am, like many others I see around the Bay Area, with my face in my smartphone a fair share of the time -- I swear not when driving! Thanks to Google, I now have a new Nexus 7 phablet. I played around with it last night before going to bed. It was fun. I actually watched Obama's video talk on Trayvon Martin, something I had been meaning to do for a week. I'm not sure but I wouldn't be surprised if over time this wonderful little slate starts feeling ignored. Frankly, by the end of the day I have a bit of eye and finger fatigue. I want to get away from screens, play my guitar, take a walk, go out for a beer (and look at my smartphone, of course). A couple years ago I had one of the first Samsung Android tablets, thanks again to Google. It was fun, although the software was a bit funky. I generously gave it to my son who sometime later called to ask if it was OK to sell it so he could get a new set of tires for his car. I said yes and laughed. He may be the son of a Luddite, but he's active in social networking, and loves his Asus Bamboo notebook and iPhone 4. About the same time I got a BlackBerry Playbook on review -- two actually. I actually thought its software was more sophisticated in many respects than the Samsung galaxy Tab, albeit its lack of an email client was unfortunate. Anyway, I gave one away to my son (I don't think he sold it but he might have). The other one is still in its box in my closet. When I'm around my apartment I tend to sit down at the notebook or smartphone or pick up my guitar, sit at the piano (not enough), or watch TV (too much). Sometimes I even pick up a book or Outdoors or Mad magazine. (I admit it.) When I am out, the tablet, even my new seven-inch phablet, is too big to take -- and what if I am somewhere with no WiFi and it's just an expensive big brick? I catch the excitement around tablets when I read and write the tech news and go to tech events. I am a curious guy and like to play with this stuff. I have my share of gadget lust. But at the end of the day, something in me craves less screen time, not more, and my tablets are on the losing end of that struggle. I don't see myself plunking down ~$300 for one of these things anytime soon. What's wrong with me?
