So it'll fail at the first hurdle?

Why not take the Adam tablet features and mass produce that?

We want a nice clutter free bezel with a screen that works out doors and a real-world battery life of at least 10 hours whilst web-surfing.

Can't see any Windows 7 tablet getting close to that.

I've seen a demo of a new display coating made by British scientists that reduces glare off a screen by 90%+.
Why aren't the big players putting this on their laptops/tablets?

Watch the BBC programme 'Museum of Life' to see the demo.

Surprised the Inq. hasn't caught on to this major development. Maybe they don't actually read these postings? ;-)

Yeah. MenSLOW.

If the tablet bandwaggon is propelled by Intel Atom Z processors then you won't have to walk fast to keep up.

And I LIKE tablet computers. Just not any of the ones on sale so far - much.

This is substantially informed by a disability that means that tablet and touch computers are the only ones I can use without serious immediate and subsequent physical pain.

I would like the Fizzbook Spin that I currently own and use, and, well, I do, but I haven't yet managed to resize its kooky Windows XP system partition, which I believe to have been messed up by someone using Windows Vista or Seven to format it. So when I use XP or Linux tools to resize, it won't boot Windows. And I wanted to do the resize before getting serious with it - objective: to be able to image the system and program partition, independently of data, in case of a need to restore.

And XP doesn't come with speech recognition, except in the special "Tablet Edition", which you don't get so much any more.

Meanwhile, new tablets expand battery life - thank you - but very much at the expense of processor power and RAM. So as personal computing machines - speech recognition is my Eldorado there - they aren't advancing.
