Hi folks, was looking at these things lately. A tablet form of the PC is a great idea if you need to pack something like that around. Unfortunately the designers keep Shooting Themselves in the Foot. A big weekness with Laptops was the "Hinge" which breaks more likely sooner than later. Rather than eliminating the "Hinge" the Tablet makers have made it even a "Bigger Nightmare".....

All a Tablet really needs is some kind of slide on/off hard cover like a pocket calculator has. The rest of it could be only one part.....When was the last time your pocket calculator quit working/fell apart????

That is a good idea, thouse sliders did get loose after awhile...but it took some serious use.
Thou, tablets are still problamatic...they NEED solid state data HDs to go anywhere..additionaly they should have a front lad mini or full size cd rom...without thse they will fail worse then the FX5800 ultra
hahah

Well Tablets have at least 1 USB port so you can easily add an external Hard Disk or CD ROM when needed. Can use the new Keychain Flash RAM modules for storage as well...

They are like oversized PocketPC's that run Windows XP not Windows Mobile 200(1,2,3)
