I know, they've always sucked in the past and I'm not optimistic any Windows 7 tablets will be that great either.
So I'm hoping Android or something else gets the key things that keep me from buying an iPad like multitasking, PC style file management systems, Flash support etc. right while having slick touch interface like the iPad.
Hopefully someone will make a tablet that caters to the business/academic crowd and not just a tech toy for media consumption.
The iPad is great for just playing around and killing time surfing the net (as long as it's not Flash sites!), reading books, comics, magazines, playing games, watching video etc. But it's just totally lacking as a productivity tool. It would slow me down rather than speed up my research work trying to use it vs. using PCs and printouts as I have for years.
