I don't want an ebook reader, really, I want an InfoPad. I don't need to be able to play The Sims 2 or do 3d modeling on it, but I do need to be able to collect and interact with all kinds of text and some other content, and that means at least some of the features you've listed above. And I need it to be able to run all day, not be too hot, and not too heavy. A tablet isn't quite the right device -- I've tried them. A thin unit in A4/Letter size with a stylus interface (including HWR) and a wireless way to acquire/sync content would be pretty much perfect for what I need. (Meanwhile, my iLiad is meeting my needs fairly well.)

I agree. A compromise between a Tablet PC (too much we don't need) and an ereader (not enough for business, students, programmers, etc) is what is needed in the marketplace. The mini-PC's that are coming out just reduce the PC. An "InfoPad" maybe someday ....
