Okay, but I think a lot of people only use their laptop or desk computer for internet and e-mail.
In my household that is all my wife and son use it for. I use many applications - but mostly for my business.
My guess is that tablets will someday eliminate the need for desktop computers for personal use. Businesses will still require the power and accessibility of a regular computer.
I can’t see a future where the mass of non-tech savvy internet and media users learn to use - and maintain - a Windows OS box and virus protection, etc.
Whatever the future of that market it will be much safer, easier to use and more reliable for the mass market. If products don’t do this then they miss the point.
If the android tablets do this and maintain a price advantage over the cheap entry level Windows laptops, I think they’re bound to eat into market share quickly.
If the Android tablets come with anywhere near the same vulnerabilities and hassles of Windows, it will take them much longer to beat iPad’s share.
