OK, this article makes a good point. The launch of the first tablet-PCs will be a disappointment. Why? Well, the Microsoft software will be clunky (as always), the tablets will be awkwardly designed with rsty hinges and the like, the handwriting software won't quite be there... the list could go on. But this is my take: don't worry about it. We'll get Mac Tabs and Linux Tabs and MS will straighten out some of the interfaces. We'll get a super sleek Sony Tab. And eventually, a fantastic piece of equipment that will be under the arm or in the backpack of just about every student out there. The greatest sales peak will be in the fall of 2003 - one year from now - from back-to-school through to the holidays.
