HP has the 2730p and tx2z, Dell has the XT2, Lenovo has the x200T, Fujitsu has a couple models, and then there's niche companies like Motion Computing that only make tablets.

But if you compare that to the number of models of regular computers that they have, there's almost no tablets. I doubt for the big makers that it'd be much sweat off their backs.

Who should be worried in some ways are the niche makers like Motion... but they don't exactly have much pull compared to a HP or Dell anyway.]]>Oct 2nd 2009 10:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/02/engadget-podcast-165-10-02-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/02/engadget-podcast-165-10-02-2009/Oct 3rd 2009 10:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/02/engadget-podcast-165-10-02-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/02/engadget-podcast-165-10-02-2009/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joshua_Ryan you are on Wiki]]>Oct 3rd 2009 1:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/02/engadget-podcast-165-10-02-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/02/engadget-podcast-165-10-02-2009/Oct 3rd 2009 4:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/02/engadget-podcast-165-10-02-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/02/engadget-podcast-165-10-02-2009/That said, Engadget guys - could you please not play with your keys next time around? It's very obvious, and quite irritating! ]]>Oct 3rd 2009 6:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/02/engadget-podcast-165-10-02-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/02/engadget-podcast-165-10-02-2009/Oct 3rd 2009 10:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/02/engadget-podcast-165-10-02-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/02/engadget-podcast-165-10-02-2009/Oct 5th 2009 9:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/02/engadget-podcast-165-10-02-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/02/engadget-podcast-165-10-02-2009/I don't know if it's just me but the podcast has become way too negative in my view. The main one trying to keep it positive is Paul Miller.
When the podcast was Ryan and Peter it was way more positive. Example the HP laptop you introduced in this podcast. The laptop seemed like crap after listening to you ranting on the trackpad and how could they possibly have done something that sticky (the chrome and the rubber one). Yet at the very end of the section you all agree it's a great laptop and better than the mac one in many ways.
That was just an example, it's been like this for a while. What about going over what's great about the product and then a little part about what's bad if the product is generally good.
What I get out of the podcast is that most products seem like crap and a few are a little less crap than others.

There's no intention to offend but I would love to enjoy listening to the podcast and coming out knowing more about great products.
