btw... something Apple has done a GREAT job of.. convincing people that a Tablet should ONLY do what a tablet does.. and not be a fully functional device.
Right now due to processor and memory constraints, SSD pricing and other issues... this is true.
There is NO reason that this should remain true for very much longer...
iOS and Android will NOT be able to provide full functionality anytime soon... at best 2013 (around the time Windows will either have a viable ARM based tablet OS OR Intel will have viable tablet processors)
In the meantime, this fall you have Ubuntu coming out with a full version of Linux with a touch interface, you have the Kal-El quad-core processor and ever diminishing SSD costs.
I doubt anyone will be standing in line to buy one, but you could have some badass linux tablets available soon. It would be nice to have a device that could ACTUALLY replace my Windows 7 tablet.
