the second coming of Christ on my awesomeness scale. I've never been really impressed with whizbang technologies, but in this case it's the whole idea of being able to surf the Internet without having to fight off my movement disorder quite as much. So now I can pace from my bedroom to the living room, into the kitchen and back without having to break my concentration quite as much.

Oh, and for the Christians out there, if Jesus is 100 on a scale of 1 to 100, this announcement ranks as 1 billionth of 1 point. Note that I didn't say that it was comparable to Jesus, I said it's the second most awesome thing I'm looking forward to. Note the difference. :)

I can see the ARM processor as a selling point to consumers, who will quickly equate ARM tablets (and their associated Linux OS's) with being virus proof and providing secure web browsing. You could actually use one of these to do Internet banking without worrying about Windows viruses and keystroke/screenstroke loggers stealing your account details.

I hope that some manufacturers:

1) Integrate the keyboard with a flippable screen, so that one doesn't have to carry around two components in case they want to do some extensive typing.

2) Use a Pixel-Qi screen to extend battery life and allow use as an e-reader.

Finally, somebody has figured out that tablets won't sell for $1000. If I can by a decent laptop for $400, why would I spend more for a tablet? I will get one when it comes out.

So it will do everything a pocket sized PC needs to but it wont run windows.
I'll take 20!
