others i'm sure have seen this already, but i just saw it in an ad with the mom and dad looking on as the daughter draws directly onto the computer screen....it apple can make the tablet mobile, then it will have a jump on sony and the others...but if apple comes out with a tablet that is connected to the computer like the vaio, they will be behind...g

God I hate when incompetent design firms use gif's for a photographic file. Stupid people don't know that a gif is for line art and jpg's are for photographs!? &lt;sorry, web designer rant&gt;



Anyways, isn't that about what some of the rumored LCD iMac is a base with tablet were about? Where's the stand for it tho? Smart ass question-how are you supposed to type on the keyboard?

Minus the fact that it's an LCD display, the choice of colors, and overall look of the thing makes it look as though it were pulled out of the late eighties!
