Tablets like the iPad won't overtake netbooks in the near future, ASUS chief Jerry Shen told the press at a conference discussing its latest results on Friday. Shen acknowledged that Apple had kickstarted the tablet market but insisted that the iPad and other tablets were in a different market and didn't truly overlap. Tablets are "cloud computing" devices that need the Internet to be effective where netbooks often hold most of their content locally, the CEO argued.
