It better come quick, and it better have a Cortex CPU! I just watched Charbax´s latest video of the new Archos 5. Super duper fast browsing! Put a Cortex in an internet tablet and I´ll finally have what I first hoped for when I preordered the 770 way back when.

Wow. Someone's an optimist around here. 
Back when other people were preordering the 770 (and I would have been, if I wasn't broke), I'd have been happy to have a laptop with the performance of my N800 now.
But it's pretty plain it'll be cortex; as for soon, who can tell?

Even now I'd be happy if my laptop had the performance of my N800... (Celeron/500MHz, 120MB RAM, sloooow disk)

Yep, maybe I was a bit naive when I first got the 770. I almost broke it in half I don´t know how many times. The whole OS was one big bug in the beginning.
But... I really think a tablet with Cortex inside will be the holy grail. For me at least.
This is what I´ve had so far, and been dissapointed with:
770 and N800 - not powerful enough -> not the FIE(full internet experience)
OQO Model 02 - Too hot and noisy, too big, too unreliable.
Nokia E90 Communicator - No browser to take advantage of the screen resolution, and when Opera Mobile 9.5 finallyarrives, there still wont be enough power.
All the Atom based MIDs so far - too big
Give me a Cortex based Internet Tablet with preferably 4.8 inch screen with minimal bezel and a slide out keyboard, please! And it needs to be 770 thin.

Of course, a 701 + 10.4Ah battery + touchscreen kit costs a bit more than an N800 + keyboard, and doesn't fit in your pocket...

I don't think cortex software development is very far along. Thats just my guess.
