alleyinsider.com — Apple's iPod touch is a hit, and PC makers like Dell and Asus are doing good business selling cheap, small "netbook" laptops. It's time for Steve Jobs to smash them together into a killer multi-touch tablet. We're calling ours the iPod touch HD for now, and we're hoping we can buy it before next Christmas.

and remember it is not a PC, even though the components are the same.

Earn more money! This is like asking Range Rover to drop their prices. Sure, they will, at just slightly less the rate that the cheaper builders drop theirs.

How are the sales of tablets in any way relevant to the fact that they guy in the article wrongly suggested that all tablet PCs have keyboards?Everyone knows that tablets never really took off, at least not to the extent that everyone hyped them up, but that is a completely separate question.Oh and by the way if YOU do a bit more research you will find that tablet-like computers were released quite a few years BEFORE the ipod. Off the top of my head, if I remember correctly, the Apple Newton was supposed to be a tablet (even though in the end it was made into a PDA) and that was around 92. Still before then there were other tablet-like pen-input devices dating way back to the late 80's which were mostly DOS based.What you're talking about are windows based tablets which started up sometime in the early 2000's same as the ipod (2001), but before windows based tablets there were quite a few with their own custom operating systems, so tablets were in fact released before the ipod.

Wasn't that the Zunes 30 gigs that failed?
