About $A740 - so a bit expensive, but all the previous notes in this thread about a touch PC being very versatile apply.

Cons - the viewing angle on the screen is a bit narrow - especially for pictures.
There are no controls on the screen - so software MUST be touch friendly to be used.

Fairly fast - I upgraded to Win 7 Premium from Starter - and that improved the tablet software experience. I use the Kindle app for ebooks - it is the best touch enabled software I've found so far. Adobe Acrobat for PDF's - Foxit seems no as good. Zinio for Magazines - and that works fine - text is a bit small on some mags though.

Works fine so far - so definitely a keeper. (no 3G on mine - the slot for the card is there - but it is $130 - I'll stick with my Telstra card.
