It doesn't look like anything new to me.  Mind you, it's certainly not designed 
for me, or anyone else who wants to work on their computer.

I've been trialling a tablet PC for the last few months.  It looks nice, you 
can write on the screen, the handwriting recognition is amazing, it has Vista 
and a proper keyboard.  You can swivel the screen and use it as a normal laptop.

However, I find for 99% of purposes I use it as a laptop.  I did take notes a 
few times with it, but I preferred pen and paper.

The ergonomics are terrible.  The way you either have to crouch over a tablet 
on a table, balance it on your legs or hold it up to use make it pretty 
terrible for movies.  This is probably even worse if you have to hold and type.

I guess they'll be a good aftermarket for stands, keyboards etc.


Cheers,

Andy
