Eric Schmit has stated Google is making a tablet.
ETA is unknown...
An alternative that is actually worth having, you mean.
lol, thanks. That's what I meant. It doesn't make any sense no one can come up with an alternative. Not even a cheap knockoff yet?? Is Apple secretly buying technology from aliens or what??
zerocool84, I agree with most of that. But because of that I won't be buying the IPAD. I need it to do everything my Windows 7 can do, or at least Ubuntu.. Minus the intense processing stuff of course. Like photoshop.
So you want a tablet that loads in about a second (about how long it takes to unlock the ipad) but runs all of the windows dll's and exe's that you have on your desktop?
Yea, you might be waiting for a little while...
Love the IPAD, hate Apple. I can't seem to find any relaease date for anything like the IPAD.. Are all other companies that far behind Apple? I really home to see a windows version soon..

windows version = netbook tablet...
they existed for years already...
webos tablet. pls.
Don't remember exactly who said it, but someone said that they're going to slap WebOS on the Slate platform, that should speed up the process of getting something to market.
The hardware of the Slate looked good, it's just that putting Windows on any current technology tablet is painful.

I am waiting a fairly robust Android experience (you know, not just having a grid of icons as a homescreen) tablet to launch.
I am hoping whatever Google and Verizon are currently engineering is going to be a worthy competitor.
Can anyone point me in the direction of even an iPod Touch competitor with Android on it? To me it feels like there is just the Zune HD that competes with the iPod Touch, and from what I understand was just sort of tossed out to the market, and then left to languish.
Yea if they do end up keeping W7 on it, it'll be fail. As we all know skinning an OS for touch (WM 6.5) doesn't work out too well. WebOS is awesome. Can't wait for it.
iPod Touch is one of the most hilarious things I've ever seen.
It's an iPhone without the phone.
So your carrying one dummy phone (an Mp3 player primarily) and your iPhone...
I just Laugh my ass off at the thought that consumers have bit and hooked.
Because nothing really can make too much sense in Apple La La land.
What a pathetic argument. What about the Zune or myriad of other music devices?
Are those non-apple consumers in Apple la la land as well?
Yes, because let's compare how many Zune HDs are sold compared to Ipod Touches...
