The problem with "the cloud" is that we're not always on-line and the cellular data systems are way too limited.

My Slate is great. It is a fully blown machine. It comes, out of the box, with voice control. All Windows 7 machines do. It can and does run Office, unlike "google docs" which needs to be online, or Open Office which is missing an integrated mail application.

I am not getting into an argument about what is best. It all depends on your application. I have an Android Tablet and think it's great for its application: E-mail, reading, minor surfing.

But this looks much more like a mini-laptop than an iPad.
