All articles with the term 'PC' in them need to have a disclaimer as to what a PC means for that article.

Tablets are for consuming content and doing very lite work, for heavier work loads people will still go to their Laptops and Desktops to get things done. They will also be used as Dumb terminals in the Corporate environment via wireless connections to a main frame/server.

Another forecast that is trying to make his mark. That tablet sales will increase, no doubt. But to the amount he is saying, in his dream or investmet.

Until tablets are able to multi-task and have multi-windowing, they are just novelty items.

Tablet/laptop hybrids will be ruling by then.

Standalone laptops or tablets will feel ''incomplete''

Remember the CB craze in the 70's?

"Expert analysts" are always amusing to those who have years of actual experience in the technologies.
90% of being smart is knowing what you're dumb at.
