Its funny how I have absolutely NO desire for any of these "slates" or "tablets" that are being introduced, but I can't wait to buy Apple's version, and I have no idea what it will look like or do.

The looks are the least important part! The apple tablet could look just like that HP one but they wouldn't focus on that, they'd focus on the software that the device is running... Apple isn't going to revolutionize the way the tablet looks, but how we use (assuming that whole "revolutionize the way we use computers" is even somewhat close to apple's own expectations).. that being the most important part, MS hardly showed ANY software/how it would be used.... terrible haha

lol, say that to steve jobs

there will be a lot more info coming out from HP and various hands on later today. stay tuned.

haha yeah, good point... I didn't mean that as in it would be ugly or it didn't matter, but in terms of the demo of the product they should be focusing very little on how it looks and significant amounts of time on the software and how we use it... steve would slap me if he saw me right that design is least important haha
