Tablet PC shipments fizzle out

Downbeat article from ZDNet: Tablet PC shipments fizzle out

Nothing about the sales in Asia, but I believe they are low. Microsoft targeted specialized industries and probably for good reasons. It would not have been good to target the whole market with the first version of a product. I believe Tablet PCs have a huge amount to offer all types of computer.

There are presumably other reasons way sales are low. Non-Tablet laptops are getting cheaper and cheaper and in a slow ecomony people will stick to the basics. There are only a small number of models that combine the Tablet and keyboard.

Will be interesting to see what is in store for the new version of the Tablet PC OS later this year.
