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?

Working on a keyboard is just a very good way to communicate.

I don't want voice recognition. I don't want to disturb people all the time, nor is it as precise as a keyboard.

touch screens are okay, but I still need a keyboard. If you're going to put a virtual keyboard on there... might as well put the real deal on there ;)

My hunch is netbooks will adopt touchscreen to take that low-cost portable option.
