That would be the natural conclusion, but I don't think it had anything to do with the response. The development cycles are apparently so long that they must have already had it in the works before the T5 rollout.

If this LifeDrive rumor is true, and I hope it is, then I'm a little surprised they didn't go with a pair of releases...
  1. This one as pictured, and
  2. A clamshell version of the same product (maybe even as a replacement of the T|C).
Maybe it has to do with existing production capabilities. They can probably use existing capacity to do the slate form, but would need a whole new setup to do clamshell.
