While I am interested for curiosity sakes to see what this whole tablet business is going to look like, what features it has, what it will do and how much it will cost. I am less interested in buying one...at the moment. And the reason I say that is because I don't know what I would do with it. I have a desktop computer, I have an iPhone, and I am assuming that the tablet fits somewhere in between the two.
Personally I would like to see the tablet as a cross between an iPod Touch, a netbook and a e-reader. While I like my iPhone I find the hardware not powerful enough and the screen not big enough for long term use. For me it's good enough for checking email, reading some things on google reader and quickly browsing a couple websites. But for anything more involved or longer use I hold off till I am near a computer. I would like to use the tablet for longer full internet use on the couch (or when traveling) and I would like to take it on the train and read a book on it. And of course it would need to be had at a reasonable price.
For the people that are interested in it. What niche do you think it's filling for you? Using it on the train? Browsing the internet on the couch? Using at the board room table? Replacing your laptop for traveling (assuming you have a desktop)?
