Yes, I think they will. No need for DVD/CD players any more.

The whippersnappers will be buying long after the elderly have gone!

And you must know Hans that the young are always right!



I am with Sideways I think the tablet will lead the way forward.



But what do I know I am neither old nor young

yeah that would be my choice of android tablet right now, though the GPS 'issue' worries me a bit. See here for details

and of course there is a new spec transformer prime on the horizon for Q2 this year

In answer to Han's question, in my humble opinion the answer is No, though I have not read the linked cnet article.
