Quite good for people who use paper alot, like insurance adjusters etc(electronic forms), but i cant see any use for it for myself just yet.

Id settle just for a laptop Smile

Yea they do look good.

It is a cool idea to get people to try out and get used to the tablet type device while not risking the loss of a normal laptops proven functionality.

They do look pretty cool. I imagine that devices like that will become the norm one day. They certainly have added functionality and once the cost difference between them and a laptop gets small people will go for the tablet.

I'd just like to say that they are quite similar to something I predicted about 11 years ago!! That and a few other things... Is there anyway one can make money out of predicting the future of technology?? Razz
