Aryk send me this link: Why Can't Tablet Makers Just Freaking Ship?
My reply:
Arcterex: my answer (having not read the article) is that what apple did *was* pretty amazing and everything thinks they can throw android onto a slimline computer and call it a tablet for $300, but realize they can't, or if they can, it's seriously hobbled by batter/power/cost/memory/etc
There's also something to be said for the Apple way of not pre-announcing anything until it's ready to go, with price and release date set.
Good to read the article though too :)
