Tablet - Terminal Terminator?

Introduction
Are you also one of the people who have already acquired one of those handy companions that let you manage your calendars, surf the Web, watch videos, edit presentations, create tables and many other exciting things?

It does not matter whether you own an iPad, Android tablet, RIM Playbook or, perhaps, a future Windows 8 tablet, there is one thing all of these devices have in common: they are fascinating.
