Not designed to compete with low-cost netbooks, the tablet is reportedly being targeted to provide substantial book and magazine reading functionality along with an enhanced experience for the traditional functions of the iPhone and iPod touch.

Is anyone here going to buy it? If so, why please? Me? Absolutely not! 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.

The source claims that the tablet device will sport a 10.7" screen

Nice... but won't that thing be heavy?
