You know, the ones that run Windows XP Tablet edition. From 2003. Because they were overpriced even when new, and had really awful hardware that could barely handle the 'experience'.
I'd hate to think of what it would be to try to get one of those seven-year-old tablet pc's to do anything relevant now. -- Front Line Force Fortress Forever | |

 | | Sounds promising Doubt the content owners woul all be on board yet... but could be cool if they let their dvrs act as slingboxes with a LTE/3g 10 inch tablet. Through in video out, and you basically have a portable stb that you can take anywhere. Of course slingbox/android phone pretty much does the same already, but it would still be a pretty cool device. | |

 bdon78I didn't do it join:2009-05-18 Decatur, GA | Interesting Interesting if you are into watching TV on a tablet. So its obvious this device was created to directly compete with the iPad (with flash and two cameras, which the iPad lacks), but many buyers of the iPad just get it because they have iPhones, are used to the iOS and apps.
Personally, I think tablets are a niche market that Apple has basically cornered. Will people buy this tablet? Absolutely. Will it move 3-4M units in the first few months (or ever)? Probably not... | |

 |  |  | | Re: Interesting said by puck0114:Agreed, I don't really believe there's much of a "tablet market" to begin with. I wouldn't be so sure on that. Apple has brought new awareness to this market. Other companies would be foolish to ignore this potential cash flow. | |
|
 |  |  |  | | Re: Interesting I think Apple pretty much brought its own market to this space. I doubt that anyone else has the power to do that. | |
