Why people need mobile, tablet and laptop?

It took me long time to realize the need for tablets. I admit I thought that those are just for replacing the laptops for home. Obviously that haven't been fully the case, there's a room for tablets and laptops at the same time.

The best explanation for the usage purposes for mobile, tablet and laptops I've read was from Google multiscreen report. Here's one page from that report to explain really well the differences.

Of course it's simplification, as all good explanations. Magic with tablet is, that it's not pushing you the connections that mobile and laptops are. At least if you haven't enabled mail, chat and other connection notifications.

Maybe the guys at Apple had all this idea figured out before everyone else. What is certain is, tablet has found its market and it is here to stay.

Online grocery store in subway stations - great idea by Tesco

My favorite idea sharing site Springwise just blogged about Tesco's South-Korea online Grocery market experiment.

This stuff is just genius. People can shop when they wait for subway in a look alike grocery store and then food get's delivered to their home. Check the video out, it's really groundbreakingly cool:



I have long history with grocery store business, since both my parents have been in the industry my whole life, so it's close to my heart. I always keep on wondering the delivery chain for these online grocery markets. To keep the cold chain, you would need to make sure that deliveries are not standing anywhere without fridge. This is one really challenging task and unfortunately they don't tell in the video how they tackled that one. Maybe the problem is bit "western", since we tend to be so strict with these regulations at least in Nordic countries.

I just love the idea and especially execution of store shelf lookalikes.
