Some of the most anticipated devices may or may not even exist - for now, they're relegated to the realm of rumours. We've put together a quick list of the ones we hope hit the market.
First off, there was Dell's leaked netbook roadmap, which features devices with high-definition screens, TV tuners, bigger hard drives, and various OS flavours.
Then, of course, there's the Apple tablet that's too big to be an Apple iPhone but too small to be a netbook. No one knows what kind of specs Apple's rumoured device might have - assuming it ever makes an appearance - but I'm sure it will sport so many juicy features that Apple fans will line up months in advance to get one.
The Google Android OS may go beyond smartphones and morph into a netbook OS in the coming months. No products have been announced yet, but rumoured manufacturers include Asus and HP.
