I only see disaster coming from Mordor. One Ring to bind them will

defeat the Borg.

If they keep the PhoneOS and make a Tablet OS that is customized to

tablet life it is a win. Sure make the "pc" version as well.

In that concept I use a term version. If you scale the os to the

device you might make that device better. I would not want to use the

phone to work on spreadsheet or word docs. I would like to use the

tablet for those but not for mouse intensive operations.

I see M$ screwing the pooch with this next release.
