I like that they're able to put their own simple UI overtop Windows 7.

Drawback seems to be battery life since the company says 5 hours, and endgadget said probably closer to 3 with WiFi on. Those are way to short, I want more in the 8-10 range. Asus is touting around 10 hours with some of the windows 7 tablets they're introducing, we'll see if they can really hit it.
I agree the battery life is an issue. I am excited to see we may finally have window versions of the tablet. My goal is to have mobipocket installed on it. If I need epub I hope that will also be an option. I believe we will be less likely to lose our libraries with a Windows tablet.
