In a sentence: It’s an over sized iPod Touch. At least that’s my impression to date.

Things I like about it:
It’s Size: I think it’s just the right size for a tablet.
It’s Weight: Ditto the size thing.
It’s Display: Very crisp, vibrant and clear.  Duh, it’s an Apple device.

Things I don’t like about it:
The On Screen Keyboard:As much as I’ve tried to use and become familiar with the iPhone’s keyboard (which is a smaller version of the iPad’s) I simply find myself wishing for a normal PC/Laptop keyboard. My biggest gripe about the Apple touch keyboard – having to switch to an alternate pane to enter numbers.
No Printing: Really ?!!!?  I understand the e-reader licensing thing, but what about getting real work done?
Lack of Flash Support:  This one isn’t terrible, but it sure makes browsing the web on the iPhone a bit a downer.

Which basically means that I’m wanting an electronic version of the pen and note pad.  In fact I’d kill (not literally of course) for something like that.  Something that’s about the size for a full page of notebook paper and weighs about as much as the iPad that allows me to jot down notes, browse the web, manage my e-mail, reminds me of important things, keeps all my contact data handy, is able to take pictures, capture voice memos and at the end of the day allows me to search and retrieve all of that information quickly. Oh, and it has to work they way I think too.  If I could find a device like that, I’d give up my iPhone, get that new device and simple flip-phone and be able to get a great deal more done.

The closest thing to date to this “mythical device” of mine is a peice of vapor-ware from Microsoft:  The Courier.  If the device actually comes to market and functions the way that the videos here say it does.  Then it is, without a doubt, the perfect “tablet” for me.
