Yes, electronics, that's true. I still like my netbook and find it useful. These wars of devices are sometimes created more by consumers than by manufacturers.
Yes,Tablets might take over the market or I should say they have already started taking it over,but when portability is concerned, you need a device that combines portability with sturdiness and thats again where a netbook scores over a tablet...However Netbooks will be a great choice for people who want a durable mini laptop and who need a keyboard for doing most of the work...
Exactly, Himanshugupta. Tablets may become even more popular and in more demand than netbooks. I have noticed this tendency lately in some seminars and conferences. This made me wonder if netbooks are in their way out of the market in a near future.
electronic 862, I absolutely agree with you. The only advantage over the laptop is the portability. This feature will attract a lot of customers and it will make it sell like wild fire but it can never replace the laptops/desktops
Tablet as the name implies, can not replace PC. It is a great resource that may be widely accepted as the ipads. Laptops will remain in its unsurpass funtionality.
I don't think the tablet will replace the laptop, that laptop has more features and is more versatile than a tablet. I would have to agree a tablet is more for reading than every day use especially when most people with a laptop use it for business use and the tablets do not have those capabilities yet.
In todays scenario i dont think Tablet can be on top, for me its just an add on device i use them to read some documents and for surfing. Always i prefer my PC for lot more other stuff. it will take some time for tablets to completely replace PC probably afer two three next gen products are out.

Peter Drucker famously said "Trying to predict the future is like trying to drive down a country road at night with no lights while looking out the back window." Yet in the razor's-edge world of electronics—with a lean supply chain and just-in-time demands—the need to know the future is vital.
While no one really can accurately predict the future, we can take guidance from another Drucker saying which is the best way to predict the future is to create it.
You've heard the saying "the No. 1 supply chain risk is your people." That hasn't always been the case. But today's complex global supply chain requires a new type of multitalented employee. It's one who understands, finance, marketing, economics, is savvy with technology, graceful with relationships and can think analytically.
Where are these people? Are universities properly preparing the next generation supply chain professionals? How do train your existing workforce for these new, demanding positions?
Brian Fuller, editor-in-chief of EBN, will lead a 60-minute Avnet Velocity panel discussion that will ask and answer these and other questions swirling around today's supply-chain talent challenges.
