Is Microsoft’s Tablet PC design too expensive? Yes. “If a reverse Moore’s Law could apply to price (prices halving every 18 months), it would take about 54 months for today’s tablet PCs to get to $400,” writes PC Magazine columnist John Dvorak.

He concludes: “Success of the Tablet PC depends on it hanging on until it gets to $499. It’s that simple.”

TeleRead, of course, as we see it, could accelerate the process by increasing the demand for the TabletPC and similar book-friendly portables, whatever the operating system. The tablet approach has been part of the TeleRead proposal since the early ’90s.
