Changes to Web Design Due to Tablet PC Form Factor

Dan Bricklin reviews the new Tablet PCs. One interesting note: “One of the properties of a tablet is being able to run in portrait as well as landscape mode… Much of what you read fits better on a machine the size of a pad of paper when it’s in portrait mode, especially when you only have 1024×768 resolution (or is it 768×1024?).” This probably means that if the Tablet PC form factor catches on, Web designers will have yet another minimum browser width do deal with. Are you using CSS to render your sites yet?
