    I know what you guys are saying about the lack of available tablets considering this is supposed to be "the year of the tablet", but if you compare this to the flood of netbooks we say a couple of years ago, these tablets being shown are all a lot more polished and look a lot better than any of the first generation netbooks. They were designed to be small and cheap, these tablets are designed to be slick and cool. That's a lot harder to do, especially when all these manufacturers are adding their own interface software on top.

    As for the Windpad [sic] itself, it would be pretty OTT, but this would make a really lovely digital photo frame

    Enough grunt and flexibility (you can do anything on Windows) to have all your photos pulled off your server and displayed nicely with a great touch interface. Then it can go into random mode while docked. Could also be used as a giant remote screen for a media setup and home automation.

    You wouldn't need to care too much about battery in this usage scenario, as it would mainly be docked.

    Hoping for a decent res and CPU but it doesn't seem likely. 1440x900 and a dual core CULV CPU would be nice, great for a Paint.NET pad...

    Oddly enough, looking at the size of the Win 7 task bar, a decent res doesn't seem out of the question..

    Edit: Scratch that, just counted the Recycle Bins down and get (very roughly) about 60% of what I get on my 1080p screen. It'll be lucky to have a 720p screen and is more likely to be 1024x600 or thereabouts
