Still seems to lack the most basic need of a tablet:  a stylus.  How do I take notes with this?  Useless to me without a way to take notes.  That's why all the others are fail as well.

"lawlz you're dumb" yourself, bro - kind of kidding but you're hating on a fairly legit point when it comes to shortcomings of these tablet devices in the eyes of a student, graphic designer, etc, et al...
I totally hear Snail on wanting a stylus - for a lot of people, that's how you want to be able to take notes in class - in college I would have killed for a stylus-tablet combo - to be able to take e-notes with the ease of drawing diagrams, switch formats, whatever ... then save it/email with classmates?

That'll be the day...

i agree

also no one will buy this and people will continue to buy enlarged ipod touches because they want to be cool

also tablets are stupid as fuck.
so pointless when you could just have a netbook

only + to an ipad would be millions of apps i guess?
