Thanks for the links. A neat little toy, but not exactly what I'm looking for. It has the advantage of being able to run x86 software. Battery life looks impressive (for x86, but comparable to most tablets) I'll just say that for a variety of reasons, XP (or even linux) on a netbook tends to annoy me. Generally the screen resolution creates problems.

That said, for a little extra weight, I'd prefer the larger 10" screen. Not to mention, based on what I've seen, I like the Slider form factor (sliding vs swiveling) much better. Portability wise, it's comparable to a 10", in other words, not nearly as portable as a 7" tablet.

The tablets have the advantage of instant on (even if versus a couple of seconds). I love resistive, but I think capacitive works better for tablets. Most of the tablets have GPS and multiple cameras (mediocre thought they may be). The Viliv doesn't have an accelerometer, which I'd believe I'd find annoying pretty quickly.

Ideally, I'd love a 7" Slider, about 1.2 pounds, 1280x768, wifi only, full usb, gps, pen technology, insert other standard features here.

However, I fear if a couple competitive 7" tablets don't show up soon, the size may be dead for a while. Samsung could easily update the original Tab, and we haven't seen any sign of the 8.9 version. A lot of the delay in seeing a 7" may be due to waiting for 3.2 with support for the lower resolution screens (I'd prefer a higher res screen like the 10" anyway). It may just be the best idea to go with a 10", as I may be waiting forever for a decent 7".
