In general terms, tablet PC refers to a slate shaped mobile computer device, equipped with a touchscreenor stylus to operate the computer.
This form factor offers a more mobile way to interact with a computer. Tablet PCs are often used where normal notebooks are impractical or unwieldy, or do not provide the needed functionality.
The term Tablet PC was made popular in a product announced in 2001 by Microsoft, and defined by Microsoft to be a pen-enabled computer conforming to hardware specifications devised by Microsoft and running a licensed copy of the "Windows XP Tablet PC Edition" operating system or a derivative thereof.
But considering the innovations that Apple has came up -- the iPod and iPhone -- these are trend-setting, technology-shakin' and market-blowing products. Apple has defined new ways of listening to music. Just walk on a busy street and you'll see how many are bobbing their heads with white earphones (denoting iPod-user). The surge on mobile applications and games have been astronomical. Online purchases of music, videos, e-books, etc have been peaking.
Will this be a "tablet" that would be hard to swallow? I doubt it. Though bitter pill it may be because of its price, allot are eager to take a "byte". Will you?
