HP 2730p Elitebook Tablet PC

Ok, here's a new Tablet PC on the block that looks pretty sleek. It is a convertible but in Tablet mode you couldn't tell. They claim much better battery life. I wonder if people would consider this over a DR1000WS.

Some brief quotes from the review linked to above:

Quote:
You’ve got WiFi, (a/b/g/draft-N) with choices between Intel or Broadcom radios and you’ve got integrated BlueTooth. You will also be able to choose (I don’t think this is available yet) HP’s Mobile Broadband option which is powered by GOBI, the new technology that allows travelers to switch between multiple carriers.
Sweet!

Quote:
You’ve got 2 USB ports, an Express card slot, and SD card slot, audio in and out, VGA, LAN, and modem connections, and a Firewire port.
Quote:
In fact, depending on your configuration, HP is claiming that the Elitebook 6930 will give you 24 hours of juice. You won’t see 24 hours with the 2730p but you will see a significant improvement. With the right configuration HP is touting up to 15 hours of battery life. That right configuration includes the Ultra-slim battery slice, which is the same accessory that worked with the HP 2710p.
Sounds cool. No word of price on this sucker though. But, I WANT ONE!!! If would make a great type of active "document reader". Plus, since it runs a full blown copy of Vista all DRM schemes would be supported (except Kindle of course.)
