Cloud IT formerly On-Site Technical Solutions: Whither Tablets

I do not yet own a tablet, but I expect to in 2011. Not necessarily an iPad, but most likely either a Droid or Apple device. The feedback I read and hear about the iPad tends to dismiss it as a fad or expensive toy - usually from people that don't own one.

Last year the hype was around netbooks, this year it's about tablets because of the iPad. Prices for these devices, like all hardware, will be dropping. As in the Windows vs Mac world, expect the non-Apple products to be significantly less expensive. Once that happens the predicted market for the netbook pretty much disappears as people move to tablets that can do what the netbooks do (and then some) but in a smaller space at a similar price. We tend to focus on the netbooks because that's where we see inroads for the tablets for our customers - not so much the gaming and reading spaces.
