First and foremost, the Tablet PC is a pure superset of today’s laptop PCs. In fact many Tablet PCs will look exactly like today’s traditional clam shell designs complete with a full keyboard but will have a mechanism that converts the hardware into a slate form. Others will have a pure slate form factor. Regardless of the design, Tablet PCs will be among the most mobile PC ever made, with exceptionally long battery life, light weight, and many with built in wireless capability. But the Tablet is more than just a great laptop. It also enables users to run Windows and Windows applications using a pen, annotate documents, create handwritten documents using “digital ink” for later reference or even conversion into text. Just like today’s portable PCs, Tablet PCs can be put into a docking station at a desk to support a large screen monitor, mouse and full size keyboard. Either as a pure slate or as a convertible model the Tablet PC is the evolution of the laptop – all the functionality of a laptop with added Tablet functionality. | ||

| I am not. 1.0 all the way for me. Same thing goes for Xbox. It looks like a solid product. |

| I am willing to pay up to $2000 for the Tablet PC. If its more then I won't get it. But from everything I have seen it is laptop pocket pc hybrid. How much is "mondo expensive?" |

| #6, Microsoft isn't making the hardware, they are writing the software/specifications... companies like HP and Compaq will make the hardware (in the same way that they do today for PocketPC's. |
