Sure, but I think this space will be constrained by market forces for the next couple of years until we see movements towards these devices actually trying to be desktop replacements. Right now the focus is for these things to be phones and media consumption devices with a long battery life (which is what the masses want.) I'm waiting for the market to settle down enough so that Dell can jump in and make these things boring. Give me a tablet which is power hungry, gives me only 4 - 6 hours of battery but delivers everything I want to make these things true desktop replacements.I don't want sexy, I just want to throw the thing on my desk, plug all my crap into it and get to work. Maybe sometimes I might even take it with me. I do all my work from home though, and when I leave my home I don't want to take my work with me, so my mobiles don't get much mobile action.
