Samsung Tablet.
 
Didn't see it on here yet:

Quote:

Meet the latest iteration of the Samsung Q1 handheld: the NP-Q1EX. First spotted at CES in January, Sammy's going back to its UMPC roots by ditching the split QWERTY in favor of a clean, slate look that keeps the eye focused on the 7-inch, touchscreen display with 1,024 x 600 pixel resolution. Inside you'll find XP Tablet Edition running on a 1.2GHz VIA Nano ULV U2500 processor, VIA's Chrome9 HC graphics, 2GB of 667MHz DDR2 memory, 802.11b/g WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0, a SiRF Star GPS receiver, SD card slot, and a rear-mounted camera of unspecified pixel density. The unit that passed through the FCC for US airwaves approval also features a 60GB hard disk and 4-cell, 4,000mAh lithium ion battery for up to 4.5-hours of battery life according to Samsung. A quick search through the Intertubes also reveals a retail price of about $775 at on-line retailers.

Prepare for the chipset, cpu, and OS snobbery to commence.

Short battery life, high price, Windows. Three major disadvantages in one device. No thanks. :)

Yeah, it's like a Mac without the fanboys. >.< Expensive and worthless. (*ducks and hides from mac fanboys*) ;)

In every way, it's a step down from the Q1 Ultra. Though, one of those steps (the price) is a good one. But the lack of split-thumb-keyboard is not.
