Wrong Impressions

Here they are, all wrong and too widespread:  My comments in italics.

1. Tablets are mainly used mainly for eMail and notes.

How about apps??  (700,000 now)

2. There are no wireless desktops.  You at least have to plug them in.

Take a look at Consumer Reports or BestBuy.    PCs are actually going wireless.

3. ePrint does not work with iPads and other tablets.

ePrinters receive and print via eMail.
