I think that within a year there will be some really rocking Android based devices that will be better and more enjoyable for me, but you can pretty much always wait " in 2 years, X will be out and will blow it away" which is always true.

The Slate is definitely envisioned for a different market. It is sold by the Business Division of HP. I wasn't looking for a Laptop replacement, but a netbook replacement. And it is.
We gave away one of our netbooks to a family member. I still need my Notebook for serious work. But for walking around mobile computing, the Slate is Slick.
Funny, I don't understand why Jobs hates Netbooks so much.
