No. I have high hopes for Chrome netbooks. A very simple, very fast, cheap laptop? The main thing is a real keyboard for doing heavy typing. Lots of potential for this form factor.
Well, as long as the manufacturers don't crap it up as much as the telecom carriers crap up cell phones. Android is doing well anyway.
Besides, the Year of the Tablet is only beginning, and it may not be so rosy in the long run for anybody but Apple. Remember the Tablet PC was going to take off too. And then it was the Origami device (I have one of these. And then there was something "revolutionary" coming after that ... I think that next platform vanished like a mist over the moors.)
