Eat my shorts Mr. DELL
"Michael Dell says he sees a growing role for Linux, but only a niche future for Tablet PCs." ----- Crazy, basically he's sayin he didn't jump into the R&D bucket in time to crank out a tablet where HP/Compaq, NEC, Fitjitsu, Acer and a few unknowns already did so. Behind the times there Mister DELL, I mean sure now tablets are a weeee bit more than what we'd like to spend on for a laptop. But given what it can do and the market its being pitched at, long usage, good battery life, etc.. i mean why would any manufacture turn down the aspect of such a device really? The convertables are basically laptops, just flip the screen around.
I say BS to mister DELL, you will make a tablet, mark my words! I give you a year to get yer act together, if by today come 2004 and yee has not talked or even mentioned or dare i say released a tablet... your edge has ended in the way of laptops.
