Pretty cool to see someone can get a price so low on a tablet PC,...it helps reduce the cost when you do not have to pay those fees to microsoft also.

The only thing I don't like about this one is that the keyboard isn't detachable like on the Compaq (blech!) version. A buddy of mine has a Compaq and that thing is pretty damn cool. I'm thinking of getting a wifi-enabled one for my wife to use around the house. That way she can answer my e-mails and still cook and clean and stuff. I'm always thinking of her needs, ya know...

Tablet PC's are cool, but they are still just laptops. I think they need much improvement on both physical features and software features before they will be something special,..just my thoughts.

My only problem with "tablets" right now is the power problem. I mean, yeah, a big fatty tablet is cool, but if I am going to develop a usage pattern for a tablet that is signifigantly different from a "tethered" or even "portable" computer, the battery life needs to be like 10 or 12 hours, not 3-5.
