*Snicker* His "reputation".
Tablet PCs will take off at some point, but not if they are just keyboard-less laptops. Tablets will be the convergence of PDAs and laptops, but that won't happen until low power screens are cheap and battery life is high. A tablet that can be used only 3 hours before a recharge is useless. A tablet that is unreadable in bright sunlight is also useless.
