I don't think my wife would put up with that...

. . .which I suppose is why I'm so disappointed with so many of the Walmart-ish tablets.

I also expected better tablet/cellular integration by now.
I am a little bit disappointed with my HP Slate, in that I would think that HP and/or Microsoft would make a sub-interface for the Tablet, using Win 7. I'd call it a "skin" which would make touch screen a lot easier. It would be a lot less difficult than speech recognition. You would need to make the buttons and menus fatter.

Anyway. Nothing is perfect. Nothing.
