Must be end-of-day cynicism, but reading the spec all I got was "netbook that we've removed the keyboard from and are going to charge you extra for the privilege".

Strangely, I'd more interested/excited if this was a new TouchPad (so running webOS).

Not quite the typical netbook, since it uses whatever-trail is the successor to the Z5x0 lower-power atoms. Given the better-than-average ram and some solid state storage it'll probably be quite reasonable, although it seems a little pointless to release a new x86 tablet before Windows 8 comes out (IMNSHO).

I'd be interested if the touch screen is better than the one on the latest fujitsu stylistic, though...

It would need to sell well first. I think Apple know the biggest threat to them currently is Samsung Android tablets - hence the lawyers are out.

Wonder if you can add a keyboard, like my (also HP) TC1100. ?

& when are we going to have some 14" tablets - Kno aside - that have the same screen dimensions as A4?
