PDAs, Cellphones, Wireless Ah, the tablet computer. For over two decades now have companies tried to get the public to buy the darn things, and yet, despite all the efforts, promises, analysts, and even personal involvement by Bill Gates, they simply never took off. Recently, the tablet has seen renewed attention - but will they succeed now?

Maybe I will buy a tabled PC. It's a perfect e-book reader, picure viewer, portable movie player, etc. And it should be easy to plug in a USB keyboard and a mouse.

I would require a tablet that has a button to switch between horizontal and vertical view mode. And I would like a standard/foot to use the tablet as a monitor like the iMac.

For reading, it would really be excellent.
