I am still wondering why we are calling this the 'post-pc era'. We didn't have the 'post-desktop era' when laptops became the most common form-factor for personal computers.<p>Tablets and 'mobile devices' are different form factors. Different form factors often result in different hardware needs (we didn't have track-pads and batteries before laptops did we?). Those who are able to get these form-factor and hardware built and usable first experience an initially high sales volume.<p>Compaq led the portable computer world for a few years when it was first introduced, Sony led the walkman market, etc. etc.<p>Tablets are not the final form-factor, and the market is in it's infancy. Isn't a tablet just the extension of the PC market, rather than a completely new market?<p>When I think 'post-pc' I think of a time when we'll be interacting with any object we touch, without needing to think it is a device of this sort or that.
