Figures from IDC indicated tablet PCs will represent 0.5 per cent of the worldwide PC market in 2004.

Research from Gartner last month into Windows XP Tablet Edition 2005 said that updates to the operating system were insufficient to drive mainstream adoption.

I'm sick and tired of headlines like Tablets giving dealers a headache. And I wonder when the towel is going to be thrown in and Microsoft is just going to cut the project. After all, great things have happened and instead of touting these things we get more of the same bad news press and nothing from Microsoft but wait until 2006. Yeah, right.
