Because tablet running on mobile OS fits the need of most people, it don't mean it fit everyone's need.

No, it means that the rest who continue the stale desktop os power hungry paradigm are the ones that are not any good, because had they been any good they would have caught on years ago, and they wouldn't be a stale fringe market.
The rest that use mobile os's other than ios, are mostly crap so far by all accounts (the joo joo is a case in point and the various chinese ipad clones with android), but then again there are not even a few out yet. I dislike google and android for a lot of reasons, but I am waiting to see what comes out of it. I am also looking forward to the hp one with the really good palm webos in there that unlike android isn't based on sun's stolen pattents(a lot of these guys that made this where former apple employees btw) although I am afraid they will have problems with the availability of apps. All of these however are fundamentally ipad clones in the way they copied the interface, multi touch, the app store paradigm etc., hence apple suing htc. That said when didn't the tec world mostly copy apple, first it was ms, now it's ms and google. That doesn't necessarily make for bad products btw, though it usually does. For sure they will be better of course imho than the win 7 ones.
You like what you like but don't present it as the latest and greatest tech because it's anything but that. I agree with the rest, I would be probably happy too even with a win 7 tablet on a lot of respects, but the pinnacle of technology, efficiency and design it isn't.
sorry for breaking my promise to not post, should probably unsubscribe from the thread to avoid being tempted to.
