Are tablet PCs cannabalising netbook sales?

Netbooks will be considered a failure since the launch of tablets... Most tablets have keyboard expansion in some form - so whats the point?

You can add up to 5 data sims to your primary number that share one data package - month-to-month or contract. Afaik you won't receive sms's on them though.

Thanks for the info SiriS. I am not too bothered about not receiving SMS on my table, but i should still get them on my cell phone right?

Yes, you do get them on your phone. I've been running 4 devices on one data package since last month, it works great!

Working in PC retail I see the trend of people going towards tablets these days. Netbook sales have dropped off somewhat, with people either going for cheap laptops with a lot of keen interest in tablets (especially the transformer - beautiful piece of machinery that!).

Nice thing about tablets is that they aren't bogged down like netbooks are.
