Move over Apple, widescreen is in the hizzouse!

That's right, Apple's dominance in the tablet market could soon feel the mighty spray of the Karcher that is wielded by some companies that are making widescreen tablets designed with the movie-watcher in mind. If Apple's next-generation iPad doesn't go widescreen, then it could be lost among the competition because shipments of tablets are expected to triple over last year. Applications such as e-mail and gaming may work well with the current 4:3 aspect ratio, but with movies and recent TV series, iPad viewers will have to choose between bars along the top and bottom or having the sides cut off.
