Err they all have capacitive touchscreens so you have to get a special stylus for capacitive toucscreens. Which annoying in my opinion, but Steve jobs has managed to make the technology industry think about resistive touchscreens the same way that the Catholic Church thinks about gay people.

I will make another comparison when more tablets come to the market. The wetab looks pretty cool. To be honest I wouldn't buy any of these because netbooks are cheaper and offer so much more.

Where is the Samsung Tab released? I only know that it is not yet released in the US.

Isn't the iPad, excluding the 3G functionality, just a large iPod Touch?

Is it already acknowledged that Android 2.x is not tailored for tablet platform?

A tablet running Meego with its Tablet UX is what I'm waiting for.

Yes it is a large iPod Touch, but that hasn't kept it from selling by the millions.

Neither was iOs or Windows yet they still run on tablets.

Amazing and sad at the same time.

How do they do that? For what it's worth, I've read that iOS was designed with tablets in mind. Meh.

Yes, I am very aware of it and keeping both eyes on it! Yet I dream of a real tablet style device running Meego and I can roll up like paper!
