showing my age some but I have heard these arguments before.

paraphrasing to the max. In the sixties/seventies two rival groups agreed that to get desktop hardware to sell, because who would need to replace the IBM computers and their perfectly good method of input from punch cards and paper printouts output, you needed a killer app.

I think the killer app for the tablet computers will be/is the cloud. The cloud is doing all the heavy lifting and the tablet will be just the display and keyboard. (Is the Tablet just the Wyse 50's for the next generation?) IE,Firefox,Chrome are the interface. Bandwidth will be king. The Tablets, smart phones, Ipods, PC's will just be some of the ways we get there.

Now for my next speech in the Stating the Obvious series will be "Gravity, just a bump on Isaac Newton's head"
