That "joy to use" factor is always hard to rate when you're crunching specs. My wife has only ever expressed love for one tech device in all the years we've been together. As you might guess, it's her iPhone. There are many other devices that do all the things that she uses her iPhone for, and they are all cheaper. But that's not the point - the iPhone just has that hard to define "IT" that makes it a real pleasure for her to use, every time. I have an iTouch which has a similar feel about it. I've also bought many other things such cars and musical instruments for their charm factor ahead of their specs, and usually not regretted it.

Ideal would be a 11" or so 4:3 screen (or just an A4 screen), standard windows like file system, drag and drop file loading, good stylus support for mark up, 8-10 hours battery life, touch screen responsivity on par with iPad, instant on, etc. etc.
Put me down for one too. It seems like such a no-brainer to have something that is at least 'A4 friendly', with a stack of potential business uses, that I don't get why there aren't a number of devices that have at least similar specs. Maybe we'll see them filtering through over the next year or two.
