Now that seemingly everyone is proclaiming the PC "dead" and
ushering in the "era of tablets," it's a good time to take a look
at what the short-term future of slates will bring us. For instance,
today's tablets don't fold up, keep tabs on your health, download
location-based apps automatically, or draw their power from the sun.
But they may do all those things soon. Take a look at our slide show
of the future of tablets and plan accordingly.
