This past week was a busy one for tablets and for rumors. Early in the week we say Michael Dell showing off a 7-inch Dell Tablet. We also heard rumors that in a few days we will finally see the rumored Blackberry Tablet, called the BlackPad. We also heard that Apple will be asking all of us to open our wallets for a new smaller 7-inch iPad in early 2011 and also learned that we may even see a smaller MacBook Air before the end of the year.

In addition to all of this new tablet news we saw new Kensington cases for the iPad, updates to the iWorks iPad office apps and how to use your iPad as a monitor with Windows.
