Yeah, interface does matter a lot.

But battery life, size/weight, heat output/fan noise are the things that kill any interest I have in tablet PCs like the lenovo.

A tablet for me will mainly be a reader and mark up device, it needs 8-10 hours of battery life to be useful, it needs to be thin and light enough to hold and read for a couple hours or more, it can't have a fan and heat output that makes it unpleasant to use.

And Like I said, I'm fine waiting. I don't think it will be more than a couple years though. For me all someone has to do is make something with the iPads form factor, but with a screen an inch or so bigger and an open file system with drag and drop and I'd be set. I'm not looking for a full PC OS that gets the same battery life etc. Not really looking for any huge step forward in feature set as the iPad is very close to what I need--if not for Apple's walled garden I'd probably get over the screen being a big small and buy one.
