Or think of some other witty remarks. There's gotta be heaps with a name like Kno.

You Kno it!

I think he does have the 64GB. If your seriously interested, send me a PM with your email and I'll get it to him.

Well, just for textbooks and note taking it would be serious overkill -- no doubt. And too expensive. I want it as a full fledged computer. So on my frequent travels I wouldn't have to bring a tablet for entertainment and a laptop for work. It would be an all-in-one. Besides, I like the slightly larger screen size.

Actually you would be turning off the capacitive screen, not the wacom screen for note taking. Anyway, you kno that the Kno will always a remain a pipe dream. The iPad is not a bad choice for what you want to do.

Duh! Right you are! "Back track, reverse that."

You're right about it being overkill. I need battery life, you need it to be fully functional. Your tablet may be hard to get, but at least they're in production!

My ideal tablet is vaporware

(PS: I love that ranting guy... lol)

It is not my ideal tablet yet -- that one would have a new Sandybridge processor, 6-8 hours of battery life and it would weigh a lot less than 2 1/2 pounds. Well, it will probably quite a while before we get there. Perhaps still get an iPad2 and hack the hell out of it. Just read today that there is a new way to get Flash on it. That makes it actually usable for me.

Well, just got mine couple of min ago.

Restored backup from previous one. I must say that it really feels different, better. It is almost as same way as my Kindle DXG. It is softer or more round on the edges or back, can't explain, so the ereading experience should be better as well.
