the IPad jump starts the PC tablet industry

alright so apple drops the IPad a few weeks ago and tho it was a major disappointment even to apple haters like myself, its got the whole PC industry scrambling to put out a Tablet that can compete with the IPad (this shouldn't be hard since the damn thing doesn't have flash). HP is finalizing pricing a Tablet that is almost the same size as the IPad but runs Win 7, it also has cellular connectivity, in my option it will probably a lot better than the IPad only because its a legit touch screen computers. Acer, Sony, Dell, and even Microsoft are all watching Apple to see how the IPad turns out and also working on there own projects to compete with the IPad. as much as I hate the say it, the IPad was a majority good thing for consumers if only because it reintroduced PC makers into trying to tap into the market again and making awesome touch screen products, which in the past have tended to not really ever take off. right now Tablet based computers make up only 1% of world wide computer sales. so lets all us Tablet lovers cross our hands and hope this IPad dose something good.
