Tablet computing finally arrives...

Based upon the CES show - tablet computing might finally arrive. It took iPhone (wildly successful) and Net books (disappointing) and Tablet PCs (very disappointing) AND most importantly the Kindle (wildly successful) to move us beyond the printed page. Cool stuff. Media publishers are also seeing these devices as their only means of survival. See the book You are Not a Gadget (read it on your Kindle!) by Jaron Lanier.

In a related story - it does take Apple to finally legitimize that a consumer electronic innovation is about to hit the mass market. Amazon with their pioneering Kindle device are scrambling to launch an Apps Store out in front of Apple releasing the as of yet unseen tablet.
