Well, it's not as if a tablet computer is some new thing that sprung from Steve Jobs' head as Athena from Zeus, any more than they invented the smartphone.

They'll make a very usable tablet and in all probability I expect to see the current netbook market be supplanted by a "net-tablet" market as a result. My netbook is neat and a Kindle is neat, but a device that could seamlessly do everything both did - just as well as the original devices - would be totally bitchin'.

In other words, do exactly to tablet PCs what they did to smartphones so I can buy the Googletablet (or whatever) running something open but about as good a year later. :D
