    Register me interested - especially if they've got clever display tech too.

    Software looks incredibly poor... Most of the stuff doesn't work lol

    Also when you flip between screens it seems laggy?

    Even if they'll finish it on time I don't think there is a point in getting one.

    It does seem very slow. Even more so than my nexus one! I think the software definitely needs alot of work

    For that kind of money, it should turn into two notebooks.
    That made me lol!


    It is a prototype, i can only assume a very new software build. Hardware seems fairly impressive though!


    What I don't understand is why bother with a core 2 setup? Why would a tablet like that need such processing power? Fair enough it can be snapped into a laptop frame, but surely a mid spec'd tablet PC would then leave enough of the budget set aside from the £1000 asking price to go towards a decent standalone PC. A tablet, a laptop and no doubt change from £1000...win?
