I think I've worked out what apple are doing with things like the apple tablet. The meme with the newspaper clipping with "they should make computers more like TV"? That is what apple is doing. They are making computers where you can only do one thing at once, only look at approved content but you do have access to your "prerecordings" and you only sit there and change the channel on it.
On the other hand, I have a tablet. The only thing I use it for is note taking, and casual browsing and email. I only ever do one thing at once on it because I'm running around working and sure wish it weighed less... I don't know if they are on to something with this kind of "computing white good" approach. At least it seems that there are a couple of tablets being released soon that are similar in size and weight but you can have a real OS on it.
