I think I'll be sticking to my OQO thanks. On a design point of view, this thing is nowhere near the OQO.

I prefer my combination of the Thinkpad T41 and Axim X30 over a tablet THAT small or even just over any tablet. I like the ability to have a full size keyboard, and the T41 is small enough to bring with you. (especially with the Targus backpack with a notebook slot :wink I would like to see Windows Mobile continue to grow as an OS. Having a PDA wouldn't be as fun if it ran the same OS as my other computer IMO.

I never thought there would be anything bigger than my toshiba e830. :wink:

There should be an instant -on machine that has a 10" screen and light.

The cost should not be the excessive prices charged for PDA's and the like...

I admit the device is a little on the big side, but defenitly doable for me. In regards to the main post I find the opposite true... That the PPC OS is still just too limited to function outside very specific uses. I mean I love my PPC, but would trade it in for this Tablet device. I find it to be much more portable than current table devices which is a big plus, bigger screen than current PPCs which for me is another plus, and the ultimate..it runs real Windows... which means anything I can use in the real business world I can now carry with me.

Amen to this.
This is what I have been saying for over a year or more at least. I would love to see a minitiure hdd intergrated into a PPCs, but you'd be surprise as to just how many people who visit this website is against the idea.

Snap. A laptop and PPC cover everything for me very nicely.

Microsoft has the technology. It would be perfect for Windows Mobile. Why why why?

I think they already did (only better). It was called a Newton 0X :devilboy:

[Don't Panic!]

That's what this prototype reminds me of. A Newton on Steroids. :crazyeyes:

I'm no fan of that particular prototype but I think I could be convinced to convert to something similar. The combination of laptop and PPC is just not ideal for me anymore. Don't get me wrong I love my 4700 and use it hours a day every day, its just after 5 years and 4 PocketPcs I'm getting tired of the limitations. The limited file compatibility, limited browser support, lack of good text to speech applications, no built in hard drive etc.

I think a mini tablet about the size of this unit minus the keyboard would be ideal. If the thumboard were to pull out all the better. You could always use a folding bluetooth keyboard when you needed full size. Of course some OS / shell mods would be in order to make it more usable on a screen that size. Oh and instant on would be nice.
