Lenovo has announced that it will delay the launch of its
Skylight smartbook by three months. The news doesn't bode well for
smartbooks in general, as it appears the market isn't quite ready for
the concept.
Lenovo originally announced the Skylight in January and said it would
start shipping it in April. However, this is not the first time we see
major players turning their back on the smartbooks and there is
obviously a very good reason for their lack of enthusiasm.
While many vendors are hopping on the tablet bandwagon, it appears that
the market isn't quite ready for smarbooks. While they might have been
a good idea in 2009, it seems smartbooks don't have a very bright
future, as there are plenty of other fads to go around.
