These are pretty limiting options. Where is: I want a tablet to play two player touch games. Or: I want a tablet to use as a REAL personal computer, with me everywhere always connecting me to the Internet in a form factor that works better for real computing than a phone.

I think people are too focused on what they think a tablet isn't good at and aren't open to the possibilities of what it could be good for.

I'm very excited about the Apple Tablet rumors but I would buy a ~$700 tablet from anyone who does it correctly. It's going to take a new software paradigm, possibly a new form of a Zooming UI (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zooming_user_interface), but I think there is a real market there.

The Courier is just as interesting to me but I still have doubts Microsoft can actually pull something like that off.
