I'm so happy,
'cause today I found my friends;
they're door-to-door Walkie-Talkies
and the chatter never ends:
They're on at ten about my sins
and I wonder
How they got home
by neighborhood watchtower signs?;
but that's ok.
Innit?
I like it.
It's not gonna crack!
I'm so excited,
and I don't care,
in a daze 'cause
I've found Jobs!

Yeah! yeah! yeah!

Is this the same ABI Research that said:

- ARM-based ultra-mobile devices will surpass x86-based devices by 2013

- Linux will overtake Windows on netbooks by 2013

I'd like to have some of what they're using. It's definitely MUCH stronger that mine...

The single "slate" form-factor is surely compelling, I mean, who wouldn't love to be able to do everything they do at their Desktop PC without having to actually go to a desk?

The problem is that the current Tablet/Slate/Pad releases aren't going to provide that level of functionality.

If you could get a Slate PC with:

1. eInk display like the Kindle but with 16 million colors,

2. easy, accurate voice recognition (without headsets).

3. Freedom to choose your own Cell/Data service.

4. Ability to run multiple apps.

5. Ability to run most PC software.

then the iPad form-factor would, without question, take the world by storm.

The technology is quite there yet, but it may be close enough to snag a fare chunk of early adopters.

This could totally happen. I mean, as long as the tablets in question say "OC" on one side, and "80" on the other side, then I'd say there's a good chance of this happening.
