I'm not sure about the tablet PC market altogether. We bought ten of them for a specific department that travels between campuses. I was given the project of creating an image for them so they would all be the same and in case one needed reloaded. So I got a chance to play with them for a while.

Now, they were great when I first starting playing with them but the novelty wore off pretty quick for me and I ended up using it as a regular laptop most of the time. I could see the use for the college department we got them for since they travel a lot and attend a lot of meetings. But for the average user its just doesn't seem practical. This is coming from a geek that gets excited about all technology.

It will be interesting to see if MAC can get a better hold on the tablet market than PC users. I know Vista gets a bad rap but its seems tailor fit for tablet PC use.

Tablet? That's a tough pill to swallow. I can imagine Apple making a suppository Mac, though ...

they can call it the eneMac. :p

The iNewton.

Too many gadgets on the market already. Wonder how PDA sales are doing now that smartphones have taken over in terms of screen size and functionality.

Either you use your phone or a laptop, hard to use something in between.

If they can make them light enough, then I'm sure it'd be a hit.

I'll believe it when I see it.

I wouldn't be surprised to find out Apple was doing some engineering work on a tablet, but I would be surprised if it actually results in a product any time soon.

A mac tablet with something like an 11" screen and weighing under 3lbs would be nice. At the very least I'd drool all over it.
