@Susan, I actually mean to say it seems Ipad may not go beyond it present usage, but the future definately holds the answer. But then with the way things are going, dont, you see Ipad handling more tasks as Laptops.
You can perfectly use an iPad for doing your work -depending on what kind of work you have to do, and your laptop also for pleasure. I don't understand what you mean.
I agree with you on that but that is what it seems today, the future still holds the question of what of if tablets become more versatile than it is today with more features and application which may lead to more power use.
well, probably going through gender or bringing gender into this matter may serve as marketing edge for tablets. It does sound logical to say because you are a female,you will need a tablet that is light and versatile than the bulky laptops,.
I totally agree, jbond! Also if I can get the reader to my Amazon page, their whole Kindle is occupied by interesting information about my story, rather than being distracted by a shelf with lots of other books that are probably just as interesting. It is, after all, a market. One wants the potential buyer's focused attention, and the tablet (or PC) provides that, probably even better than having your book in the window of a bookshop does. (unless it's a really, really tiny bookshop.)
Tablet computers on the other hand are as easy to use. You can learn to navigate over the direct features and applications within short time of duration. The email and browsing facilities on these devices are also easier to maneuver than the typical PC web browser. (I better not to choose to comment on the rest of the topic you have covered here Marc)

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.
