Interesting enclosure extraction utility that I need to learn more about - "Enclosures" are basically files attached to a newsfeed, almost in a similar way as email programs do, with the exception that an enclosure is hosted remotely.

"We're in the very early stages of what effectively is nascent demand in the tablet market," said Alan Promisel, an analyst with market research firm IDC. "Looking forward, I think the demand potential for tablets is pretty high."
The portable PC segment, which includes standard notebook PCs, has for the last three years been the fastest growing part of the overall PC market, and has long been more profitable than the desktop PC market, with its razor-thin profit margins.
As the PC market has matured, slowing to single-digit percentage growth rates in the United States, PC makers -- along with Microsoft, Intel Corp., Advanced Micro Devices Inc. and others -- have been angling to come up with new and different designs and uses for technology to spur sales.
Promisel said that his firm predicts that in 2003, a total of 500,000 tablet PCs will be sold around the globe, which represents about 1 percent of the total portable PC market.
But, by 2007, IDC forecasts that the tablet PC could account for well over 20 percent of the portable market.
