Expect Big Developments in Tablet PCs in 2010

One of the most anticipated developments in the computer industry this year is the Tablet.  The tablet that we usually know is the flat surface input device where we draw images using a stylus, similar to what we do when we draw images with a pencil on a paper.  The tablet PC more commonly known now is a slate-shaped portable computer with a touchscreen display that can be operated on by using a stylus or the fingertip.  An external keyboard is an option and is usually connected either through USB or Bluetooth.  Early applications were in specialized fields like factories, health care and restaurants.  The Tablet was in recent years embraced by leading PC manufacturers such as Acer, Asus, Fujitsu, HP and Lenovo to name a few, which made it possible for the product to find its way in consumer hands.  Probably the most anticipated development that brought much excitement to consumers these days is the news that Apple will be coming out with its own version of the tablet that is rumored to be called the iSlate.  What worries other vendors is it is expected to somehow take a slice of the market not only from competing tablet products but also from related products like the e-book reader and netbooks.
