I have seen the future of computing and the future of computing is with tablets. In ten years, the concept of a "home PC" or even a "laptop" will seem as ancient to us as a VCR seems to us today.

I doubt that -- there's no substitute for a proper keyboard if you're writing anything longer than a grocery list.

Yep on the keyboard. But I think the iPad is a “third computer.” I can’t see anyone other than a really light user having an iPad as their only puter.

The keyboard option is already available with iPad, you can dock a standard keypad to an iPad today. Future generations of the product will make it even easier and less cumbersome to use a standard keypad with it.

Also, some crazy sounding technology is about to come our way. Don't laugh, but keyboards will soon be able to fold up and fit in your shirt pocket. They have also found a way to build a wireless keyboard into a pair of trousers. So get this, you are sitting in your chair with half the keyboard on your left trouser leg and the other half on your right trouser leg. As to where the mouse will be positioned, well let's leave that to the imagination!

Q. Are you playing with yourself?

A. No, I'm just adjusting my mouse!
