One a similar note, does anyone know of a Windows 7 based tablet? I'm looking for something that looks like an actual tablet, with no keyboard, rather than a convertible laptop...

Any ideas?

Hans-Christian,

That is simply amazing!  Gotta get one of those for myself - maybe get to be a distributor for them.  Wow!
