I think so too. The reality is, if this were so easy- you'd see a lot of high powered tablets running full fledged Windows 7, not Windows 7 Starter, and possibly a Mac OSX Tablet or two, as well.

I understand that some people WANT it all now...but to believe these companies are just holding back all this awesome technology from us on purpose, or because they are just shortsighted, is just baffling to me.

It is easy to accuse companies of "missing the boat" or not "seeing the big picture" when their products disappoint somehow. I see people blaming Amazon for not having a color screen for $100, and Apple for not providing a full OS for a product 1/2" thick and with 10 hours of battery life, and I just wonder where people get the idea they know so much more than anyone else in the actual business.

We are seeing just the beginning of some exciting new devices, not just Tablets, but eReaders too-and iPhone OS, Mac OS, Windows 7, WinMo 7, Palm, Android...its all coming. For now, I'll just enjoy what IS available now and soon, and not just complain about how everything falls so short of my prescient needs
