That said, I don't think the Apple tablet is likely to do any of the mark up stuff, as it will likely be a big iPhone and thus be a finger touch device with no stylus support--just virtual keyboard etc. and I firmly want stylus markup as I want to highlight and annotate like I do with pen and paper today.
So I don't think the Apple tablet will fit my needs. So my main hope is it will achieve some success and lead to a flood of different tablets coming out so I can find one that fits my need and budget in the next few years (I'm in no hurry).

You can buy a stylus that works fine on iphone, however it has a large tip as its designed for the iPhone but the technology for a stylus to work with the capacative touch screens exists and I would be AMAZED if the 'iSlate' doesnt have a stylus.
