Touchpad?
I see you have a Touchpad. No wonder you think tablets are gimmicks. I happen to do a lot of work on mine.
No they don't. You even admit so much yourself.

Your point ? It's still not vaporware, it's a shipped and sold product. Must I point it out to you again ?
And what are you on about "NO demo" ? What was Ballmer holding up there on stage at CES 2010 ?

Moving goalposts I see. I never commented on the Slate (frankly I think all tablets are gimmicks, including Android tablets, the iPad, the Windows tablet, the Maemo stuff Nokia shipped years ago, name it..) itself. So I don't get where you say I'm "exagerating" or "hyperboling" when all I'm stating are plain facts. It exists. It's for sale. It took 10 months from announcement to release. Facts.
I'm simply correcting your (and other people's) misinformation. I have no further agenda than that. You're just reporting news ? What news, you didn't even know the Slate had shipped at all not 3 weeks ago! You're not reporting anything, you were spreading misinformation.
