It is important to know the presentations of people with opinions who have the opposite thoughts and ideas from yours. For example, it was odd to me that there wasn't a Tablet PC Pavilion at CES. In fact, the vendors were spread out over the showroom floors. This author concluded the Tablet PC is dead. Microsoft should be alarmed by this conclusion and counter it VERY quickly before the press has a field day with it - and starts to repeat it - over and over again - as they tend to do with contraversial statements.

The Tablet Is Dead, Long Live The Tablet
Tucked away on one side of one expo hall lay the Bluetooth and the Tablet PC pavilions. Designed to congregate vendors showcasing their technological innovations, these pavilions offer companies a way to display products alongside the competition. Strangely though, the Bluetooth pavilion had a greater number of products and a larger crowd gathered around.
The Tablet PC pavilion meanwhile had just a few scant offerings, and seemed to generate little buzz. This is in sharp contrast to previous CES expos where the Tablet PC and related products were the belle of the ball, the centerpiece of keynotes from both hardware manufacturers and Microsoft alike.
Steve Jobs has long said that the Tablet is a technology without a driving need, and it looks like he might be right.
