PC World takes a look at some of the new tablet computers available – as well as some speculation on what is to come.
In China, 2010 will be the year of the Tiger. In the tech world, 2010 will be the year of the Tablet — or so it seems. A bevy of tech companies have teased, talked, and have not denied rumors that they are working on a fabled tablet computer. Here is a look back at 2009 tablet buzz with a look forward to 2010 — the year of the Tablet. Asustek is rumored to be working on an Eee Pad, according to Digitimes. Rumors of a Dell tablet won’t go away. Earlier this year, rumors of a Microsoft two-panel tablet appeared after Gizmodo got its hands on one of Redmond’s concept videos. And starting Friday, the JooJoo Web tablet is supposed to go on sale for $499 at thejoojoo.com. And of course there is the ever-present Apple rumor that “soon” it will introduce a tablet. – From PC World
