Current tablet/slate PCs are way too expensive, and I don't really need a device with full PC functionality.
You're going to want to be watching a couple of companies, one obvious one is Gigabyte and their convertable tablet netbooks running at $700 for a 10.1" device.

The other is of course archos and their 9" atom based tablet coming relatively soon too.

I'm more interested in the latter. My purposes for such a device have no requirement of an attached keyboard at all. A wireless or onscreen keyboard is more than fine. Perhaps this is the kind of thing you're waiting for. If so, not much more waiting will be required.
