My ten cents ... HP having been saying that this year is the year of the tablet, and I think they're right. However, there are a few things about the iPad that make me keep looking:
1. DRM; I want control over my content. iTunes sucks; in Europe it sucks even more. 2. price; my guess is about 600 euro in Europe, at least. 3. not enough storage, 64 GB? come on .. with blueray DVD file sizes coming out at between 5 and 9 GB that's not realistic (would have been nice if it could have acted as a USB host). Microsoft's tablet has been slated as totally under-powered, I'm cynical about HP; my tx2000 is nice, but their software is awful. Both Acer and Asus have announced tablets later this year and, since it'll probably still be October before the iPad is available in Europe, I think I'll just stick with my iPod touch and wait for a real tablet to come out. My Nokia will rise to the challenge? Simon. Simon North, Technical Writer.
