Minitablets looking for a niche

And I'm sure that niche is out there, but it won't be successful until the battery life gets much longer. I'm not carrying around a device that only last a few hours and can't perform much input. There also needs to be a fundamental change in inputting stuff in these devices.

I thought regular tablets would do well when they were released. I guess this won't be different.

I was at PC Expo when they were released. I thought they would be big as well...
