Are Tablet PCs Destined to Flop?

,----[ Quote ]
| For all the hype about the rumored Apple 
| Tablet, the 'will they or won't they' about 
| Microsoft's Courier tablet, and a host of 
| actual tablet announcements such as Lenovo's 
| IdeaPad U1 and theDell's still unnamed slate, 
| everyone seems to have forgotten one tiny, 
| little fact: tablets have been around forever 
| and have never, ever lived up to their buzz.

Does a Tablet PC Market Exist for Apple and Others? 

,----[ Quote ]
| Sounds like the UMPC To Me
| 
| Yet for all the hype, we've seen a device with 
| similar functionality before, one that didn't 
| go over terribly well. Consider this: In July 
| 2006, more than three years ago, I wrote a 
| review of a device for InformationWeek that 
| sounds surprisingly similar to what we can 
| expect from tablet PCs. The product was the 
| Samsung Q1, a precursor to the Netbook market, 
| known as a UMPC or Ultra Mobile PC.
