Hmmm... All the drawbacks of a laptop with fewer benefits of a laptop. That pretty much sums up tablet PCs in general so far.
I can see a niche groups who would really benefit from a tablet, but I don't see the value of a tablet for most people. For the price of a tablet, I can get a Sharp MM20 with WiFi and better battery life. Not a good value, IHMO.
Now, if they would lick the battery life issue, and make standard ones that have a more durable screen, then they might have something. But until then, I don't think they will catch on.
