^ And that had long been the criticism lodged at tablet PCs - the price was just crazy in comparison to a regular laptop. Even though it did more than adding simple USB input tablet to a regular PC would, and you were paying for seamless integration, they just didn't take off as more than niche products. I have owned 3 different tablet PCs at different times, but I'm pretty sure I only ever saw one "in the wild" - and we travel to a lot of software development conferences (which also include a non-trivial portion of business analysts and project managers, not just devs). So while programers need a keyboard more than a stylus, they do also tend to go both for what's new/cool and what's high end. Only once in all my years traveling around have I ever seen someone with a tablet PC that I didn't own.
