Some cool Windows Tablet PC images:
HP Slate, Exo-PC against a good old Laptop

Finally the SLATE has arrived — but it seems HP isn’t convinced it is such a good idea — Windows 7 admittedly is quite a resource hog !!
So they aren’t really marketing it but want to use it as a platform for enterprises to run specific applications on it

i-mate JASJAR as mini laptop
Image by Josh Bancroft
The JarJar/HTC Universal is a unique form factor among mobile devices. It mimics a "convertible" tablet PC, in that you can flip it open and use it like a baby laptop, or spin the screen around and use it like a traditional Pocket PC.
I find myself most often using it in "mini laptop" mode. If it’s in my hands, I fold the screen all the way back (there’s a detent that holds it at about 170 degrees), and it’s like a wide Blackberry/Treo with a gorgeous landscape VGA screen.
On my desk, I usually leave it open like it’s pictured here – where I can glance at it if needed. No cradle or stand necessary, which is nice.
The only time I really use it in slate/portrait/traditional mode is when I’m reading an ebook. When I’m reading, I only use one hand, and I’m holding it for long period of time, and using it in slate mode is much more comfortable (especially since I’m often laying on my side in bed while I’m reading).
Areas for Improvement

It’s unfortunate that Windows is the only platform to support the tablet form. Rob caught minor flak for using Vista and One Note for note taking at the LUG, though he was dishing out woes as well. Searchable handwritten notes, who can refute the awesomeness of that feature?
