I Am Irrationally Mad About Wonder Woman's Android Tablet. Wonder Woman had some great moments. Seeing a woman smash a soldier into mush with her shield, toss a tank over people’s heads, and commit willful acts of beautifully violent misandry was nice. But lurking below the shining feminist bastion of fists and charm lurks a very, very big problem. Wonder Woman uses an Android tablet.“No,” my colleague said when I slapped her during the movie and whispered the above. While it certainly looked like a Microsoft Surface Pro from afar, director Patty Jenkins was kind enough to zoom in as Diana fired off an email to Bruce Wayne in the film’s closing scenes. And what she zoomed in on was unmistakably an Android e- mail application, on what appears to be a Samsung tablet, possibly the new Galaxy Tab S3. Than she goes to work and actually uses that Android tablet for work reasons. From what little I’ve gathered after watching Wonder Woman once and obsessing over it each night as I fall asleep, modern- day Diana is some kind of museum person, possibly a curator. Judging by her office, which was full of skulls and swords, she is not the kind of curator who traipses the halls of her palatial museum, glancing at her tablet every few moments. This person would never, ever, use any kind of laptop- like tablet. The only people who use those devices are, for example, the entire cast of Grey’s Anatomy. It’s one thing for characters on TV shows would use a Windows tablet. I’ve seen artists create incredible art on them, journalists use them at Apple events, and one time my roommate saw one I brought home and said, “that’s cool.”But you know what’s not cool? Having one of those characters use an Android tablet. It’s a perfectly fine phone OS, but struggles to expand appealingly on the larger display of a tablet, and is often useless in a desktop scenario. You know who uses Android tablets? People who buy Amazon Fire tablets and.. Beyond ultra cheap Amazon tablets, Android has almost no sales, particularly compared to Apple and Microsoft. Which means it is absolutely egregious for a functionally immortal demigoddess raised by an island full of American Ninja Warrior women and Princess Buttercup to look at the multitude of offerings available for computing needs and say “Yeah, an that Android device seems good.”Patty, you’ve failed us all. Amazon unveils its Kindle Fire tablet, a rival to Apple's iPad 2; Price is the huge difference, although Amazon has sacrificed some features. It's Probably Time for Your Favorite iPhone Apps and Games to Die. A new message found in the latest iOS 10 beta update seems to indicate Apple will be killing off. Of course, none of this means that you can’t feel sad on a Sunday, even for all the reasons cited around the internet: hangovers, FOMO, weekend disappointment.
