So I'll be in the waiting game for a while to get what I need since 12" or so screens with 8-10 hour battery life are probably at least a couple years away!
Right, yeah, I remember your wishlist well . And you are correct, the 8.9 inch screen on the Asus is too small for what you're wanting. I do like having the keyboard available when I need it, though - but if you do get a slate like you want, you could always hook up a usb or bluetooth kb if you found you needed one.
