response to an email asking about the lack of a "real" keyboard:

the keyboard is fine. Everyone seems to say that who uses mine. Pleasantly surprised.

I have been chatting with app developers and they are thrilled. Most apps are 2 bucks - 10 bucks. Very reasonable. Plus they are made by small companies generally and you can speak with the developers to get them to add features. I have had several features added by folks in just one day.

they listen. This is a real good thing for small developers. Ching ching. I have used tablets for YEARS. HP 1000, 1100, tx 2000. I never used the keyboard. That's the point. Use a pointing device (stylus) on the tablets. The most recent the tx2000 you can use your finger on. Its great. I love NOT having to have a keyboard attached. Reduces the size of what you have to drag around a LOT.

I have been playing with the handwriting aspect. converts to text. that along with verbal convert to text and huge for me. handwriting conversion works great on the tx2000, not quite as good on the ipad but the apps will get better quickly.

keep an open mind. This is not the perfect computer, none are. But this thing will evolve very nicely. And many others will clone it.
