Tablets were available in the
early 2000s already but back then they (CompUSA, Circuit City, Best Buy etc) tried to sell them as $2,000+ "business" tools... never took off.
BTW you can get a clue byt checking the link I posted earlier - UMPC portal:
http://www.umpcportal.com/products/
CHange the number of items to "all" and lo and behold,
you get 100+ umpc, tablet, netbook or other mobile device listed, all running some sort of flavor of linux, Windows or Symbian (but no OS X whatsoever.

Plus, I believe we are talking about a different animal here: touch, more elegant/user friendly OS, and hopefully different display.

Yeah, I got all these - running a surprisingly fast Win 7, often using on-screen keyboard, full LED screen.
Do you want to know the price...? It was well under $1k so most likely more advanced yet cheaper than anything Apple can offer.
PS: did I mention I managed to install OS X on it...?
