It would still be cool for the windows diehard who wants an around the home device. It has the specs the anti-iPad guys were after? Not sure about HDMI out, but it would have flash support, multi-tasking, USB, User replaceable battery in etc. Just buy 3 batteries and rotate them to match the iPad 10 hr battery life.

Dawn falcon you may be letting your dislike of Apple blind your reason a bit. The apple tablet can: run applications which do all kinds of things, act like a GPS, consume movies/audio/ebooks/newspapers/comics, be a photo library which qualifies it as more than an 'Internet Applicance'.
