Some of these tablets are designed for a future not far off, but most are outrageous concepts that won't be seeing the light of day for at least five years. These tablets are both high and low-tech and are designed for people from all walks of life, including designers, the elderly, students and children. If the announcement of an iPad with a new camera and a slightly thinner body isn't enough to excite you anymore, maybe you should check out all of these innovative and creative tablet concepts.
