right Dawn....those are technically called "Slate PC's" even though Tablet PC is a better description. but we have one of those situations where the media decided writing Convertible Tablet PC for those devices with an attached keyboard was too confusing for the masses, so they used a completely inaccurate term. Thus the evolution of the moniker of Slate PC for those systems with just a display and a touch screen. A company called Tablet Kiosk makes some superb Slate PC's, the i440D being one of them. but they are very spendy these days...I would say overly so, but they sell mainly to medical profession where the more they spend the more money they get from us patients so $3k-$4k for a device which by all rights should be under or near $1k.
