I picked one up (to look at, mind you) at a London Drugs and the first thing that came to mind was 'geez that's heavier than it looks'
The second thing was "boy that plastics slippery..."
And the last thing was "Hmm... its been out for less than a month and already the paint is worn off the plastic where the cradle hugs it"
It was certainly a neat thing to look at, especially since it is a portrait screen. Nice. But the little cosmetic things, like the buttons on the bottom... the lack of rubber grips, and sheer weight of it to hold in one hand.

Give it time for someone else to do it right.

Can u imagine anyone taking notes with that?
Then compare it to 12" PB.
The tablet idea has been tried SO many times before going back as far as 1988, it just doesn't work outside certain industry specific applications.
Not to mention the Compaq tablets are seriously underpowered using the Transmetta Cursoe rather than a Pentium.
Apple should stay the hell away from these things, a tablet replacing as a standalone computer is like Segway trying to replace a semi-truck
haha
They copied the Mac by having an operating system. Stupid Compaq!
