good coffee in the morning, I like

If they had use Flash there would not have been a browser compatibility issue.

If the iPad is capable of taking phone calls (on the odd occasions), that would actually be a good idea for many. I have the iPad and I'm pretty much carrying it anywhere already, I don't see the benefit of hulling an extra phone for the "just in case" times.

points taken, but... but it does promise to deliver a HD signal between your Slate and the Blackberry...

If you get an sim-swappable phone, then you're down to 2 carriers instead of 4 (plus dozens of other budget carriers)

Oh no! Ballmer _is_ Dr. Evil!

Double-walled porcelain are pretty expensive, and it holds the heat very well.

I find it unlikely. Even 10" tablets running ARM does not cross the 9 hour mark (ok they claim 9:30 but seriously...) and from different article it appears that the Intel Groovy Trail System-on-a-Chip is approaching ARM's efficiency, so by reading between the line it's about 10-15% less efficient. With all these…
