How can a oversized device can be considered a PC, this goes for all tablets. Oversized Ipods and galaxy's are not replacement's for laptops or PC.

I agree. There are still too many things that you can do on a computer that can't be done on my tablet, like my online homework for classes.

To be honest this doesnt mean that tablets replace computers, because the majority of people already have computers and therefore purchase tablets now.

It all comes down to wether you consider an iPad a PC or not.

I personally don't. But if NPD DisplaySearch considers, there isn't much to argue.

Even though Steve Jobs himself said iPads weren't PCs...

until you can start to develop games etc on tablets and do professional video and photo editing i dont consider them a pc otherwise you might as well put smartphones into the mix cause a samrtphone do just as much as a tablet.

You give me a tablet that can run Starcraft 2 well, and then I will believe it is in the computer category.
