The iPad has been the first successful Tablet PC after Microsoft's failed attempt some years back.
Apple's powerful brand image and style has been a key selling point, with customers willing to spend well over £400 for the iPad.
Tablet PC's are in the no man's land between a smart phone and a laptop or indeed a laptop and a PC. That was Microsoft's problem. Many people just didn't need one.
Apple have sold in excess of 3.5 million iPads since the launch in April.
However it still is not compatible with Macromedia Flash - meaning many internet applications cannot be utilised properly.
The competition is starting to take note of what Apple did well and producing imitations such as the Samsung Galaxy Tablet PC which has many of the features of the iPad, but it can make calls and has two cameras. The Galaxy is crucially nearly £100 cheaper!
So what will be the future of the iPad and the Tablet PC?
