Yahoo’s Project Runway event today brought out a major push towards tablets with two new creations. On top of its HTML5 mail, the early search firm will have an HTML5-based home portal optimized for tablets. The page is geared towards the iPad but will give any suitably equipped tablet large, touchscreen-friendly views of highlighted articles as well as usual information like stocks and weather.
Also coming is a native iPad alarm clock app. The title should go beyond its core functions to include a basic calendar, weather, search and other Yahoo-related tasks.

So much so that instead of work against it, most home automation companies developed apps, docks, and entire ecosystems around the iPad. Crestron’s latest accessory, however, address what’s unfortunately viewed as one of the iPad’s key disadvantages when used as a home automation controller: the lack of hard buttons.

The tablet has prompted many of its owners to use it instead of their laptops for everything from email and social networking to games and Web surfing.

"People are willing to disproportionately spend for these devices because they are becoming so important to their lives," says CEO Brian Dun.
Bad news for Dell, HP, Acer, and Microsoft.
