Well, all the hardware options (reasonable, unreasonable, insane, and wicked sick) have already been discussed. So we had to move on, I guess.

The _only_ thing I want is to be able to use my tablet as a "hands-free" device in my car. It's so cool combining GPS/Canola/Email (there is a lot of heavy traffic!)
If only I could use it as hands free it would be the ultimate car device (IMHO).
Phonelink is getting better, but shame about selfone which appears to be vapourware atm. :-(

And of course an something like this for those _really_ annoying journeys

I mean its never been mentioned that a touchscreen has to be always facing the user at all times. You could very well close it down (added protection for the screen) and pop it up when you want to use it.

I have used a Clamshell Zaurus extensively and not once have I felt the clamshell defeating the purpose of the touchscreen on the Zaurus.
Of course the added bonus with the Zaurus was that the clamshell factor could rotate and lie down with screen facing up in portrait mode too as well as sit down laptop like in landscape mode.
Don't know why I wrote "destroy" eventhough I meant "defeat" (well, english isn't my mother tongue anyway). For me the touchscreen is a good way to have a big screen and small form at the same time. One can just pull the device out of the pocket and use it right away, with clamshell you always have to open the device first unless there is a smaller screen on the other side (like N9x, communicators). Slider is a better option if there is a need for real-buttons, since you can just slide the keyboard out like N810 and slide it off when you like. With clamshell the keyboard is always visible, therefore bigger form and harder to use the device using only one hand (now with screen-rotating became available).

tl;dr clamshell = extra work

How about the ability to play Amazon Unbox format videos? They are cheap and relatively small in size and are probably the type of thing the general user would like to do/will try to use with the tablets.

What? you (as in: "Pupnik") couldn't get a developer edition?

Boy, there must be some real wizkids developing for the Pandora right now...
