Internet tablets – anything but convergence?

By sigsegv

I have been trying to find the target segment of internet tablets and their positioning as such but in vain.  It appears that the tablets only supplement the laptops in terms of being a bit more handy (but laptops are getting handier by the day). Are tablets the re-incarnation of PDAs, whose market was cannibalized by smart phones? Who would want to carry a third device apart from cell phone and laptop? Will all those who do not mind carrying the tablets be able to afford them? All said and done, tablets do not seem to contribute much to convergence product wise or technology wise. What do you think?
