Well, looking at current tablets - I wouldn't buy them as well. What
for? They are two big, too heavy, too expensive. I do not need 12" or
14", I would be fine with... say 9", or maybe 10". My ideal tablet
would be bigger than a Newton 2100, screensize/resolutionwise, but
smaller and lighter than a 12" iBook, with a better battery time.
The current products are not different enough from notebooks in order
to make people buy them for their specific advantages (my guess).
