Interesting stuff. I am glad to hear someone admit there is an elephant in the room (phones with cameras) and HP has been silent on it.

I think we'll see something like a tablet PC evolve that has detachable parts for the camera and you might just use a head set to use the tablet as a phone with a large screen for video conferencing on the road... or at your desk. I was glad to see HP and MSFT working together on this.

Eventually, this sort of device would find the cheapest service for a telephone or video call and connect you automatically with your address book and a touch stylus.

It might actually use a wireless USB chipset to communicate between your wireless tablet and your portable cell phone/headset so your cell can use the tablet for cheap telephoney.
