Slate and Tablet Computers

These have been around for many years and have been a great benefit to users, but only in a couple very vertical markets. Seems like every computer manufacturer is touting a new slate this month, the last will be Apple on January 26th. In the late 1980's, Apple produced a number of high quality concept videos, here's one. I hope Apple's Slate offering comes much closer to this than anything else we are seeing right now.

Google's Nexus 1

Come on people ... it's not about the phone, it's about the STORE. What is it that Apple has that Google does not? 100 million users and their credit cards. Google will be willing to sell any Android phone through their Google Phone Store because they, Google, get what they want ... users and their credit card numbers. They are starting with their own phone just to show the rest of the phone manufacturers that they can run a real store.
