Bad gardening analogies aside, I'm still not convinced this platform has a strong future. The slate devices will only be popular if the cost is significantly lower than a laptop of the same specs. There's a stronger future in making laptops with detachable screens - making the tablet a form-factor option of a laptop with a keyboard. What do you think? "Hewlett-Packard will help make Microsoft's vision for tablet-style portable computers more clear with plans for new hardware on Monday. The PC maker plans to announce that it will introduce later this year a new Compaq Evo tablet PC that incorporates a 1GHz processor from Transmeta. HP completed its merger with Compaq Computer May 3." Source: Jim Mulder
