I have been playing with a Tablet PC recently (running the tablet version of windows XP), and I have to say, I love it. If Apple were to introduce a 10" tablet Mac with a form factor like the Fujitsu Stylistic, I'd buy one.
I have an X41 Tablet, the first "good tablet." It was really cool for the first year. Now I hardly use the tablet functionality. Unless you have a really compelling reason to need pen input, you probably don't need a tablet. I thought I had a lot of good reasons -- including studying Japanese kanji and working with interactive music notation -- but in the end, it's mostly a gimmick.
Now combine a pen for handwriting and multitouch for everything else...then you might have something.
I want a tablet iMac, touch screen... no hard drive, in its space room to "plug-in" my iPhone... so the tablet is an extension of the iPhone with speaker phone and much larger screen running leopard/vista and my hotel rez admin package...so I can take calls and reservations anywhere on my 9 acre property over my wi-fi. I's love this to have an intercom thingie too; but then I maybe may be asking too much.
So, no macBook, rez-book, and a cordless phone to carry about no more!
