So, in essence, Foleo would be great if it weren't really Foleo, but a convertible tablet PC / laptop?

Makes sense

Edit: Let's face it, it's too thick, too big, too heavy, too expensive and has a too short a battery life. If you put a touch screen on it, OneNote, heck, you might as well build in a coffe machine in it, it would still be too thick, too big, too heavy and too expensive. It's a nice idea (albeit not a new one, nor a revolutionary one - see Psion 7 NetBook, for example) but a totally lame implementation.
