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?

Not sure I'd call the iPod Touch a tablet, it's more of a PDA but with almost all the facilities of a netbook behind it. It's more like a PDA on steroids, and that is far from a bad thing. I love my 3rd gen Touch, it's nice to have a little computer you can keep in a pocket. I never understood Apple's stance that the Touch and iPhone were basically a netbook equivalent until I got one.
