As for windows 7 tablets being better:

Yes, if you need to run specific desktop applications. Otherwise, I don't have time to wait for windows to boot up, and then watch an atom slowly unfold each application. Getting stuff done is more important to me. Home button, swipe, and go. Words Documents, Sketching Applications, Books, Photos, Games, Videos, Facebook... all seconds away. No Flash? Yeah that one is pretty ridiculous, but not a deal breaker.

As far as word documents, you do realize that all you can have open is the word editor right?
As for movies, you do realize that there's no DIVX or alternate codec support right?
As for games, you do realize the a great deal of them are intended to be controlled using the accelerometer on a 4.8oz iphone, not a 1.5lb brick, right?]]>Mar 3rd 2010 11:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/pierre-cardin-tablets-wont-keep-your-pants-up/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/pierre-cardin-tablets-wont-keep-your-pants-up/
lmao, good point.

As for waiting for windows to boot up, theres always the laptop settings with either option you like, hybernate, or sleep.]]>Mar 4th 2010 12:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/pierre-cardin-tablets-wont-keep-your-pants-up/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/pierre-cardin-tablets-wont-keep-your-pants-up/
I know you like to think your important and busy, and that your time is valuable. Do not kid yourself. Just because something is fast does not make it useful. My laptop can run Windows 98 like a dream, but that counts for dick all. Likewise for the iPad.
So please relate your posts to FACT, apposed to the dribble on the sides of your mouth.]]>Mar 4th 2010 12:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/pierre-cardin-tablets-wont-keep-your-pants-up/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/pierre-cardin-tablets-wont-keep-your-pants-up/
If these so-called full Windows tablets are so much better than the iPad, then why didn't they sell in huge numbers in the past? Most likely because they were heavy, bulky and had poor battery life. They were not consumer friendly.

The Apple iPad will sell in the millions of units category and that will be important to reach consumers. I'm not saying this Pierre Cardin Slate is crap. I'm only pointing out that it will not have any mass appeal. It's good for geeks and that's all. It might as well be a convertible netbook.]]>Mar 4th 2010 9:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/pierre-cardin-tablets-wont-keep-your-pants-up/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/pierre-cardin-tablets-wont-keep-your-pants-up/
I own an iphone, Acer One netbook and a Macbook Pro.

Multitouch on anything running an atom is the most hilariously sluggish thing in the world. Watching crippled hardware try to run a full-sized operating system irritating and unproductive. If you don't perceive it this way, good for you, enjoy life in 1998.

The iPad has an OS fit for it's hardware, and in turn will have a fast, intuitive experience that will fit the needs of millions.

They used to think it was a good idea...]]>Mar 3rd 2010 10:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/pierre-cardin-tablets-wont-keep-your-pants-up/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/pierre-cardin-tablets-wont-keep-your-pants-up/
From the mockups(CG and otherwise), MS is sticking to their 'ink' roots with their courier tablet. As for the Pierre Cardin tablet...I'm not sure why anyone would bother... not really a name you can trust when it comes to tablet computing?? :)

and ask how such a diminutive 'puter could be made for pr0n.

But upon reading the rest of the article, it's so full of innuendo that I honestly can't do justice for a comment like that. Case in point . . .

"both the 7-inch . . . and 8.9-inch . . . are rather thick the build . . . is . . . solid."

"All we know is that we're loving the attachable leather [thingy] that opens up to reveal a rubbery [thingy]."

Resistive screens are far more accurate, plus this is a multi touch resistive screen, so you really don't miss out on any of the features that a capacitive one has anyways.]]>Mar 4th 2010 1:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/pierre-cardin-tablets-wont-keep-your-pants-up/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/pierre-cardin-tablets-wont-keep-your-pants-up/Mar 4th 2010 1:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/pierre-cardin-tablets-wont-keep-your-pants-up/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/pierre-cardin-tablets-wont-keep-your-pants-up/Mar 5th 2010 7:12PM
