Wouldn't classify a tablet as a mobile PC unless it runs a desktop OS.
If you classify the iPad as a mobile PC, then you might as well classify every smartphone as a mobile PC.

TLDR version: Apple's mobile PC market share is actually only 4.8 percent, which actually ranks the company 8th in the list.

The iPad is a mobile pc as much as an iPod touch is a mobile phone.

bias review and news?

More marketshare = More attention to Hackers. Can't wait to shut the mouths of Apple fanboys spewing their invincibility with viruses and such.

Mobile PC would indicate it can carry out all functions that a fully fledged desktop OS could carry out, and there's no way in hell a iPad can do one tenth of the stuff. hell you're even limited to how you can customize the damn thing.

yes! thank you. that's exactly right! for starters, you can't even make software for it, on it. so it is NOTHING without a real PC. when it comes to actually doing something productive, they really don't count.

Hp the largest? I don't know that. With lots of WebOS devices going out apple will need to rethink it's iPad tactics.

The pendulum always swings. I would call it a 20-30 year cycle. (aviators, leggings...ect)

I had such a frustrating night with my iPad last night just trying to get it working OK. I dang near put it up for sale as I was repeating "You've got nothing on a PC!" Fortunately, I didn't pay anything for it.
