You do realize its still vaporware, right?

In order to leave vaporware status, it helps to ship something... not show more vaporware that doesn't even build on previous vaporware announcements, but simply creates new vapor products.

An ODM design is, by its nature, "vapor-central". It's not even the company bringing the device to market... which kind of puts a ship date farther and farther out (always possible no one decides to make it due to flaws or IP problems).

I agree. Before Steve came with the iPad, there was no wanna-be-Pads in everyone's agenda. Now it's seems like a mass panic, every corporation and company wanna piece of that cake. What disturbs me is the intense greed I see, and no actual good product. They just pull something out of their asses, call it a tablet and offer it to the consumers. They don't even try it seems. I also agree on the Hunchback man. He really needs to dress better or at least shave before a big interview. ]]>Jun 3rd 2010 11:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/windows-7-tablet-roundup-from-computex-nay-tabletex/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/windows-7-tablet-roundup-from-computex-nay-tabletex/Jun 3rd 2010 1:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/windows-7-tablet-roundup-from-computex-nay-tabletex/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/windows-7-tablet-roundup-from-computex-nay-tabletex/Only about one or two of these tablets will ever see production. All they're doing is showing off what is possible. The only problem is that any company that puts the full Windows 7 desktop OS on an Atom tablet is doomed from the very start. Just think carefully about the HP Slate. It was all ready to go and you see what happened. Nothing. No major company gives up like that unless they know something is seriously out of whack.]]>Jun 3rd 2010 3:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/windows-7-tablet-roundup-from-computex-nay-tabletex/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/windows-7-tablet-roundup-from-computex-nay-tabletex/Jun 3rd 2010 3:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/windows-7-tablet-roundup-from-computex-nay-tabletex/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/windows-7-tablet-roundup-from-computex-nay-tabletex/Jun 3rd 2010 7:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/windows-7-tablet-roundup-from-computex-nay-tabletex/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/windows-7-tablet-roundup-from-computex-nay-tabletex/
I don't want a netbook with as little functionality as a tablet.]]>Jun 3rd 2010 8:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/windows-7-tablet-roundup-from-computex-nay-tabletex/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/windows-7-tablet-roundup-from-computex-nay-tabletex/I really dont need the netbook, I am waiting for the best Android tablet. Until now Notion Ink ADAM (with NVIDIA Tegra 2) is very interesting, but I think Google, HTC, Asus, Acer, Motorola? will show some love for Android tablets.
I think the market will be full of tablets options in 2011 (the year of the tablets) many of them with Android or Windows 7 as OS, also tablets with better specs (better processors, more storage capacity, multi-card readers, longer battery life, more USB ports, web cam, wireless printing, stylus option for students or graphic designers, double as ereader) will eventually replace the netbooks.

All other tablets will be considered as the Zune was to the iPod. If it doesn't have the Apple logo, then it's just a lame ripoff no matter how good it is. "Oh, look! I've got this neat Brand X tablet." "Yeah, well take it someplace else, because you're not hanging with us iPad users."

The apples of the world see tablets as just content consumption device hence using a lightweight OS. MS see tablets as a computing device (as do I) which leans them to Win7 on the tablet. Other people are putting Android on tablets just to try to mimic apple, but I would be surprised to see Google themselves side with MS and push for Chrome as the OS of choice for tablets.

Not even when the iPod touch was introduced.

But honestly Chrome OS, is not really a practial OS, since its Web-based and does not allove installing programs... And I want to be able to do my stuff offline, and I dont want the whole world filled with products that hugs all avalible network capacity, just to do things, that you can do offline.

Until you get a tablet (slate) with a stylus like those found on HPs TouchSmart convertibles, these things will miss the mark as a tool for those wanting to use it like a clipboard, for notes, drawings, etc, while standing, or in situations a screen attached to a keyboard is just awkward. If you ever get the chance to play with OneNote on an HP convertible, you'll get it.

This would include
1) some type of dual core ULV processor (with battery life of 3-5 hours)
2) some type of decent, dedicated graphics chip
3) AMD's Fusion (if it lives up to that keynote and doesn't become vaporware)
4) 2 gigs of ram MINIMUM
5) resistive screens, so we can have pressure sensitive stylus's
6) Full OS, because phone OSes are like swiss army knives when you really need a chainsaw for the job
