Mobile computing is moving from the fringe to the mainstream. Portable computers are becoming the primary PC.

No one likes to carry a brick around, and this is the smallest, thinnest, lightest device that has all those combined features.

When you look at IBM over the last few years, a high-end ThinkPad used to be at $7,500. Now, the entire high-end side of the market has fallen to about $5,000. But users still want full functionality, not a brain-dead system.

A significant portion of the more than 25 million mobile professionals have a need for universal access.

Teens and college-aged kids are the biggest purchasers of mobile content, yet they lack a way to protect their investments.

This plethora of devices will make it challenging for each of us to try and figure out what's the right mix. We're going to see lots of experimentation... there will be home runs, and there will be others that are clever but don't quite catch on.
