So you are the judge of HP making a mistake when a whole consortium of internal experts considered paying millions for a true mobile os? I wouldn't think so. And where is the mistake? This is just empty talk.
Oh it was to do with hardware sure...that's what happens when you put a desktop os on slate and expect it to function. It's not a problem with hardware but he os this hardware is supposed to run on. Put some light linux distro on it and the archos will fly.
But you conveniently forgot both of these too cases... until I brought them up. So, so far ms windows 7 have produced two tablets one a cancelled vapourware and the other an non functional device. There are some more to come, let's see if the windows 7 desktop beast is good for tablets...

I take back my comment about the anti karma button, that was inappropriate on my part.
I am no MS fan boy, but Windows 7 is the best OS to date. If something better comes along, I will test for sure.
Having a built-in SDHC (or SDXC) card reader is a must, not just for additional storage, but so that content can be swapped around as needed. I keep several 32GB SDHC cards with me at all times. They contain movies, eBooks, music, portable apps, pictures, etc. I just insert whichever one I want depending on what media I want to consume at the time. I will never rely on “the cloud” to access content that should be kept locally. That would truly be a huge step backwards.
Having USB port(s) is a must as well. I have an external DVD reader/burner that I connect as needed. I plug in USB thumb drives as needed. I can connect many other peripherals as needed. Any device missing USB port(s) is a no-sale, period.
It is a must that I am able to install any software I want, from the place of my choosing. It is an
absolute must that I am able to copy/paste content to/from the device at my discretion. I will never rely on any “sync” program just to get content on a device, that is a huge step backwards.
Any device like this must have a file browser, period.
These points are just so self evident that I cannot understand why it has to be repeated over and over again.
