Well, tablet PCs were designed for vertical markets, not mass-market,
and were priced out of the reach of most folks...

Current Tablet PCs are desktop replacements...

I have a linux tablet (with a great 10.4" 1024x768 display) and an IBM
360PE (486 laptop with touch screen, the top can flip over and become a
tablet PC)...

All that being said, I prefer a 15" UGXA laptop (1600x1200) - you can
always find a desk to work off of, and with dual batteries, my Inspiron
8100 can go about 4 hours!
