For decades, many types of computers were invented. However, year after year, they seem to become more or less efficient; it would solely be based upon the people who purchase them. Therefore, the first electronic PC computer, the "701" was invented through IBM in 1953, and the the first laptop computer was also invented through IBM in 1984. After years and years of these electronic devices, you would think that they would contain all of the things people wished they could do.
Now it's 2009 and we have re-discovered the tablet PCs...only better? According to the New York Times, " Tablet PCs have been around for more than two decades, but they couldn't perform as much as the new-improved ones that are one the market now. They have also caught the attention of tech executives, bloggers, and gadget hounds". It is possible that they will produce more cons than pros to the publishing industries. Nonetheless, for many years, microsoft has been producing different software products for previous tablet-like devices in the past. Unfortunately, they had failed in their attempts, when Bill Gates had declared in 2001, that the tablets would become one of the hottest electronic devices within five years into the future.
There are more than several companies who are willing to test the waters, in selling these keyboard free, touch-screen machines. Therefore Apple, and Microsoft are the top two companies, who are competing to sell. In my opinion, I am impartial on how I feel about these new tablet pcs. I guess people would have to get more information about them and wait and see how they sell, once they enter the market.
