    I'm sure there'll be a website along soon that tells you what you need to disable for the Psion to have the feature set of the iPad.

    Just have the keyboard part of the 'laptop' as a fancy docking station, all the real tech would be in the detachable touchscreen part.
    leave all the tech in the body of the laptop.
    When the screen is detached, video and audio are transmitted wirelessly to the touchscreen.
    Obviously would only work within a certain range, but it would enable you to detach your laptop screen and pass it around or use it by itself whilst sat on the couch.
    You still get all the hardware benefits of a proper computer but without having to lug it around with you heating up your balls

    I'm over to what's it's house to share some photos but I don't need the whole computer - so you just detach the screen and away you go, it's essentially two system in the one product.

    I'd buy it.

    Ignore the witty retorts just get building steve cause my cash is festering...
