The only problem I can see with Table PCs is the size factor. The
current (or is that old?) Newton hardware is big! That is a problem or
a attracting depending on your Point of View.
XScale and ARM CPUs are more power efficient plus the XScale is a
descendant of the StrongARM used the Newton MessagePads.
Also, with a Tablel PC, you could use PearPC and have OS X anyway!!!
