Great for work and great for entertainment. I would rather buy something like that, that can function as a real laptop replacement and is a much better media device than Android or IOS can ever be.

So the tablet factor will live on, but those giant "phoneless" phones of today will be like the PDA's of old --- destined to die out when better hardware for real computers becomes cheap enough.

Yes, that's exciting. Much better than my rather crippled Asus Eee T91 MT. It still has some issues though:
1. Price
2. Battery life
3. Size/weight, my netbook is more portable than this
