The post PC may not be a tablet at least in the 3rd world

A tablet is a wonderful device for the rich but I don't see it being the post PC device of the third world and that is where I see the growth in the future. I just saw a fascinating device called the Raspberry Pi and this is probably the PC of the next century. Flat panel displays are getting moderately inexpensive. When I was in Walmart on black friday the device sold was a 32" flat panel for $188. We are seeing computer monitors with HDMI inputs for $80. These will be the televisions for third world in the next 10 years. You can now create a cheap internet device for $25 dollars that can run a full version of linux with web browser and keyboard/mouse. A cloud based computer world will hook up to these devices to provide power to just about anybody. If you want to see what one of these devices look like just review a ROKU 2, a device the size of a hockey puck that has a very power micro-controller, memory, MicroSD, Wifi, USB and HDMI. You can pick up a cheap USB keyboard & mouse and HDMI cable for less than $8. It makes a $300 chrome book look like a joke.
