CES: Consumer Electronics Show

And just remember Moore's Law.

I'm not saying it won't ever happen because it undoubtably will (if we don't get full 3D holograms instead of flat pictures by then!) I'm just disputing chips's claim that it's becoming more mainstream this year. Its a loooong way off yet!

The key word is MORE mainstream. I didn't say it would be an entire 1 mainstream, it would be more than 0.01 mainstream.

I've been following the Engadget coverage through my iPod, and there's nothing worth getting excited over.

And I'm disputing that

To be fair, smacking anything with a screen on the corner of what appears to be a pretty solid fish tank is bound to break, unless they make the screen out of some sort of gel like substance

CES is quite interesting this year. Where did this idea that Slate PCs are a must come from? I've only discovered Dell, HP (with Microsoft) and Apple are creating slate PCs last night. It seems like a completely random thing to create, when smartphones were becoming clever, like small handheld computers in your pocket.

Aparently there was a tablet craze in the early 2000s as well so I think its just another thing that will pass away quietly
