Another good comment, from reader Derek Bastille:
"For me, the main reason to consider tablets as PCs is that the tablet form factor is what people have been wanting and dreaming of all along. Just look at the DynaBook for an example of where people had always hoped computers would go. After all, 'PC' stands for 'Personal Computer' -- and what is more personal than a computer that you can easily carry around, is easily connected and has capabilities that were undreamed of 20 years ago?
Heck, my iPhone 3GS has more memory, a more powerful processor and a far better display than the PDP-3 mini-computer that Unix was written on. Best of all, you don't need any punchcards to program it ;-)"
