I think that numbers have to be deep analyzed, I don’t think Apple continues to improve their (iPad) hardware if it doesn’t sell well or they don’t have a vision behind it. Indicates detachables like MS Surface are taking over the market. Worldwide Shipments of Slate Tablets Continue to Decline While Detachable Tablets Climb to New High, According to IDC The trend appears to be towards Android (now with 70% of the market.) Indicates that iOS and Apple’s share of the market is declining. Global market share held by tablet vendors from 2nd quarter 2011 to 1st quarter 2016 So, I am generally against creating specific platform editions for iPad and Blackberry, etc. I cannot see not being able to drive the same UI that I drive with a mouse pointer, with a pen pointer. It would be different if iPads could run the SketchUp core with just UX changes for mobile & pens, and the iPad buyers paid for this developement.Ĭreating my.sketchup is the best answer.

(They already distro 3 editions for 2 platforms over 11 languages = 66 distributions.) This does not make good business sense for Trimble. Apples share of this part of the market has been steadily declining.Īnd here you are advocating that a platform specific mobile edition be authored and compiled just for a small segment of the userworld. The market (endusers) are moving away from iPads and other dedicated tablets, toward detachables. Of course, but, really, I believe that, in a mobile world, a workaround is not what we need.
