Doesn't change the fact that not many people actually want them, unless it's an iPad. HP is price dropping (er, "sale") because their tablet is failing like every other full powered, non-iPad tablet. Somehow another company just doesn't see what's happening, and insists on chasing a market that does not exist.

As Android tablets have already taken a 35% market share, that assessment is not quite correct. More aggressive marketing will put them over 50% soon enough. Tablets are cheap (relative to real computers), convenient, and offer a long battery life. And helpful for technophobes, like my wife. Of course, they cannot replace a computer now, and they fill a want, not a need.
