Why consumers won't buy tablets | Rafe's Radar - CNET News

Interesting perspectives, but I disagree – I think the timing is now right for tablet and slate PC designs.  Don’t think keyboard-less laptop; think super-sized iPod touch-class device.

Rumors have it Apple is a month away from announcing a tablet computer. Another tablet, the Crunchpad, is also due for imminent release. These and other fine keyboardless computers get great play on gadget blogs (including our own Crave), but in the real world, I believe this whole category is a nonstarter. Why we keep waiting for the killer tablet computer is beyond me. Few people really want one, especially at the prices that they will have to sell for.
