The PC is dead

摘要

The PC, in its original form, will soon be gone. I'm talking about the desktop PC - the big box with an expansion bus and add-in cards and external key-board and display.rnIt's a good bet that soon personal computing will be done on laptops, netbooks, tablets, smart phones, and your Google TV set(s). And all of those devices will be connected and all will have a "common platform" that will look pretty much the same on every one of them. Intel and a lot of other folks would love to define that platform for you and I have a feeling Android will be a part of it. The "phone" will also be gone with voice just expected to be in all devices.rnThe upcoming tablets from many suppliers will play to this connected notion - including the Cisco Cius, the Avaya Flare, and the Samsung Galaxy tablets.
