Nobody's sleeping at this point," Ballmer told analysts.

Ha-ha! Microsoft has been asleep for years, plaing catch-up to Apple by copying their ideas and putting them out as thteir own several years later! I won't believe they are awake until they come out with something first, and Apple copies them!!!

MS had a great tablet implementation of it’s OS several years before Apple. The handwriting recognition was stellar - which is a huge hole in the iPad. If you could write on the iPad, I’d probably buy one. As is, they’re not really useful if you’ve already got an iPhone.

Yeah. Right.

Let’s see, the T91 was released for sale to the general public in June of 2009. The IPAD was April 2010.

The T91 has a keyboard, flash, a full OS, USB, Ethernet, pretty much what you expect.

The Ipad has none of this and is nothing more than a large screen Ipod. Yes, the Ipad has better graphics. If someone wants to spend their own money on an apple to subsequently spend money at the apple store to buy movies, plug in headphones and watch movies on a tiny screen, they should go for it. There are cheaper ways, but a fool and his money . . .

Oh, and I can boot in Windows 7 or Aurora. It’s a classic Apple scam. It’s excellent for what it can do, and that ain’t much.

So while the apple groupies repeat their instructed mantra of PC “catch up”, PCs were already there. Nice Apple could (finally) catch up.
