of kids want an iPad
The Nielsen Company presented a cadre of individuals with a list of nice, shiny gadgets and let them cross off anything and everything they'd like to buy in the next six months, and 31 percent of kids 6-12 picked the iPad as one of them.

I am constantly looking for an upgrade from my old Toshiba Portege 3500 but it looks as though I might not find one the way things are going. Everytime I settle on one I find out the screen sucks or theres problems or it is underpowered. I'd really like a new tablet but it doesn't look like the technology has advanced as far as these are concerned. Does wacom make digitizers for tablet pcs anymore?
I was hoping the ipad would be the answer until I saw the prototype and said f---k that. If I buy a new tablet I need the following for me to consider it an upgrade.
1.) responsive screen both pen and touch
2.) ability to play and output High definition video
3.) Battery life of 6 hours or more
4.) full operating system (xp or mac osx)
5.) capable of some light gaming and digital video editing.
I use my current tablet for sketching and graphic design so I definitely need to be able to run the adobe suite of programs (including premiere which can't be done on my current tablet). Anybody have any suggestions?

I suggest a wacom tablet.

Hi,
Get the HP Touchsmart tm2 (I ordered min because your requirements were the same as mine). It has everything you ask for:
1. Multitouch screen with Wacom digitizer for pen input
2. HDMI output
3. Great battery life
4. Runs full Windows 7
5. If you get the ATI graphics option you could do some light gaming.
Anyway, I got the 1.6 GHz Cored 2 Duo CPU option, the AT graphics option, and 4 GB RAM, and with online coupon and HP instant rebate it came to $999 (same as their instant ship model which has lower specs).
@bleep I am not into the whole looking up at my screen to see what I have drawn thing, i'd much rather draw directly on the screen.

Why some people always compliant iPad don't run full OS ?
Tablet PC already exist for year why not get real one instead complain iPad ?
There is no perfect product for reasonable price, why you guys don't understand ? Want full OS runs better than iPad and cheaper than iPad.
(and more function more IO ports) Okay. You can dream, but this is business. All your hope is not exist in current technology (at least in reasonable price and battery life). This is reality , guys.
