Have We Entered The Post-PC World?

With everyone now claiming the death of the personal computer, it is hard to swim against a moving tide. According to a recent Innovator's Dilemma was at play. Perhaps manufacturers like Samsung (SSNLF) or Apple (AAPL) that seem to have successfully changed their products with the times will continue to gain share. There also seems to be an unmet need in which new players could emerge through innovation.
Expect a convergence of the things we like from a PC with the UI and ease of smart devices. Today's gadgets appeal to our "wow" need rather than taking a comprehensive approach. The need for intelligence and personal computing will continue to rise and tomorrow's PC's will need to reflect that need. The next generation will be more robust and remain the center of our computing needs. Call me crazy, but I wouldn't be surprised to start seeing VC investment into the next generation of PCs. And perhaps those entrepreneurs will take their sales pitch on the road in their little red corvette.
