>>Is anyone here going to buy it? If so, why please? Me? No. If the rumor is correct, the tablet offers me far less functionality than I already have in my netbook hackintosh, for likely double the price. Thanks in advance for your reasoned answers.<< Michal - I think I'll wait until I see it before making a decision about buying it. How's that for reasoned? ;-) I do know that my decision would be based on what things I could do with the device, and what it might do better than a netbook. For example, I would prefer to watch movies on a device with a better screen. Same with reading books. But the fact is that I don't find my MacBook Pro to be a terribly burdensome thing to carry around, and it allows me to watch movies in HD. And I read on it all the time, too. Yeah, I'd have to see the thing first. I will say that I found the idea of an Apple designed smartphone compelling even before the details of what it would do were known, and I don't feel that way about this tablet thingy. Who knows? - Allen
