>I think it is already more interesting than the iPad. I just hope they get good battery life. ( an SD slot would have been nice as well. I think it said "USB Ports" plural. Hope that's correct ) Seems the key to this tablet thing is extensibility. That is part Apple never seems to get.

Do you really want devices attached to a device that could not be simpler in form? The iPad is a thin rectangle, one piece. You can easily pass it around, use it in front of the TV with no juggling, slide it into a backpack, etc. Hanging a keyboard or something off it sounds like a colostomy bag to me.

Maybe you should offer to help them get it, Charles ;-). These guys are completely clueless.
