Tablet PCs liven up flagging market

Tablet PCs and so-called Smart Displays, portable appliances meant for home use, have brought new hope to the PC branch. The US market research company In-Stat/MDR reports that these products will lift the PC and software market out of its current depression. In 2003 about one percent of sales in the notebook market will be apportioned to the marketing of such appliances. In 2005, a growth of 3.5% is predicted http://www.instat.com/press.asp?ID=604&sku=IN030580ID .
