And Now, A Nokia Tablet-PC
Not to be left out of the rush to market, a Nokia tablet PC is speculated to join Dell, Samsung, Hewlett-Packard and others in competition for a share of the iPad Tablet market.

Google’s Chrome OS is rumored to be on Dell’s tablet-pc launch. The difference of Nokia is that they are a pure wireless company that is now getting into something stronger than a smartphone.

IPad Apps Get Venture-Capital Cash
Two major venture-captial firms, AppFund, Inc. and Kleiner, Perkins, Caufield & Byers have set aside a fund to invest in development groups and firms that are building applications for the iPad tablet pc…and we’re not talking about chump change, either. Kleiner Perkins is said to have 200 million dollars in their coffers for the right development groups and teams, and is currently funding two such companies that are dedicated to making inroads to the iPad and iTouch device market via the Apple App Store. It’s not a bad bet.
