The DR1000SW might eventually be able to function as a slate in the way Nate seems to want, but I think that will be after the SDK is released and the community has a chance to enhance the capabilities of the system. It doesn't look to me like iRex plans to invest a lot in the software functionality. (For example, they haven't bothered to provide a plugin to access MS documents in their viewer -- when that's probably the kind of document most people will want to read.)
