The iPad never did it for me, but IBM's thinkpad look amazing. Pity about the OS.

Wow. If the build quality is anything like the mag alloy chassis of the top end machines, and the OS improves, count me in.Comment

It'll have to be cheap, no e-ink, just another 'me too' tablet.
I have a Kindle and the e-ink is brilliant. Only thing I'd replace it with would be a larger version (no DX in the UK
) so I could read PDFs easier without faffing around cropping them or converting to mobi format.
My main criteria for 'am I really interested in one of these tablets' is the screen resolution. Not many offer anything remarkably better than netbook resolutions, and they are tulipe. I know I bought one.
This ThinkPad's resolution of 1280x800 is probably borderline acceptable but would prefer a bit more than 800.Feist - 1234. One camera, one take, no editing. Superb. How they did it
