Tablets are devices that are supposed to fill the gap existing between smartphones and traditional laptops. These machines don’t offer the full functionality of a computer. For one thing, most of them lack a physical keyboard. They aren’t as portable as a smartphone either. You can’t put a tablet in your pocket and carry it around.
Regardless of their few advantages and numerous disadvantages, PC makers are hell bent on creating a new product category to market.
In fact, at least 50+ ARM based tablets are coming this year. So how many of them will survive? One thing is certain. Apple’s iPad tablet is going to sell well. It may not be as functional as some of the upcoming tablets from other lesser known companies, but the fanatic fan following Apple enjoys will make the tablet a success. But I don’t know if the same can be said true of other dozens of tablets running Windows CE, Google Android or Windows 7. Maybe they will sell, but that is too early to predict.
