You can see from the video that the touch screen is not responsive, the UI was lagging 2 inches behind where his finger was scrolling. No details on specs, will be launched after June 2010 and 'priced around $1000', so twice the price of the Apple device?

I wouldn't be waiting for that product, the Apple tablet looks much faster and I would prefer a linux/os x based system over a windows 7 dual OS system.

I do like the concept of a tablet which integrates with existing technology - one of the rumored adapters for the iPad was an iMac adapter. So you could plug it onto the side of the iMac or wirelessly control the imac via the tablet. That hasn't eventuated, but that Leonovo 2 OS solution doesn't look ideal to me.
