Not knocking your purchase, I'm just pointing out the fact that I'm typing this message on a Acer W500 Windows 7 Tablet PC. It cost me less than an iPad and it does everything a PC can which is infinitely more than an iPad could ever do.
Apple have a rough time ahead of them. Windows 8 will be the cause of that.

James first off...how you doing?....secondly, thanx for the info on the Acer W500 tablet I'll be looking into it as an alternative to my laptop as now I realize although very popular the iPad isn't for my needs.
