> The iPad is going to back them into a corner I don't think that is true necessarily. Firstly, as much as iPad may dominate home use, enterprise is still a territory that it will find incredibly hard to cater to. There are multiple reasons for this; the two most that I think are most important: (1) Lack of backward compatibility with existing code and apps (2) Dependence on Apple's curated marketplace for installing applications > still being relevant in 20 years. Now, for personal usage, I think WP7 was nice and WP8 will probably be better. Which means that if they realize a tab, as they are planning to, it will be a product that can at least compete in quality if not quantity or marketplace. But again, this is a problem for NOW. 20 years is a LONG time - I cannot even imagine how computation will look like in 20 years!
