Thanks for the links. A neat little toy, but not exactly what I'm looking for. It has the advantage of being able to run x86 software. Battery life looks impressive (for x86, but comparable to most tablets) I'll just say that for a variety of reasons, XP (or even linux) on a netbook tends to annoy me. Generally the screen resolution creates problems.
That said, for a little extra weight, I'd prefer the larger 10" screen. Not to mention, based on what I've seen, I like the Slider form factor (sliding vs swiveling) much better. Portability wise, it's comparable to a 10", in other words, not nearly as portable as a 7" tablet.
The tablets have the advantage of instant on (even if versus a couple of seconds). I love resistive, but I think capacitive works better for tablets. Most of the tablets have GPS and multiple cameras (mediocre thought they may be). The Viliv doesn't have an accelerometer, which I'd believe I'd find annoying pretty quickly.
Ideally, I'd love a 7" Slider, about 1.2 pounds, 1280x768, wifi only, full usb, gps, pen technology, insert other standard features here.
However, I fear if a couple competitive 7" tablets don't show up soon, the size may be dead for a while. Samsung could easily update the original Tab, and we haven't seen any sign of the 8.9 version. A lot of the delay in seeing a 7" may be due to waiting for 3.2 with support for the lower resolution screens (I'd prefer a higher res screen like the 10" anyway). It may just be the best idea to go with a 10", as I may be waiting forever for a decent 7".

I bumped into a guy at Best Buy while perusing demo units. He saw me listening to podcasts on my own Samsung Galaxy Tab using my Motorola S305 stereo bluetooth headset and started asking my questions about my tablet. He LOVED the fact that I was slipping it into my hip pocket (sharing my wallet in that same pocket) and that it didn't look like it took up too much room--very portable. He owns a business and he already had an iPad 2 and didn't like it for a myriad of reasons and wanted to give an Android tablet a shot--and he was already sold on the 7-inch size. We started talking over the demo devices and in the end it seemed like the HTC Flyer was the best, really. He didn't need a carrier (he already had a data plan on his phone and could tether from it, if he wanted to--but 90% of the time he'd be using SOME kind of wifi either at work, home, trips, etc. anyway). The single biggest clincher, to me, was that it already had Android 2.3.x and the pretty nice tablet-sized HTV SenseUI. He left pretty happy. Kinda wish I'd had my business cards with me to follow-up--but then, I'm not a salesperson. heh

I kept reading and watching this thread, until someone posted the upcoming Samsung Captivate (which bootloader is open) on ATT. And then this thread became quite noisy at that moment. After a month of thinking, I decided to get an Android Device.
oh memories!

The folks at USM (University of Southern Mississippi) are now providing Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1's to their students. The university will make special tailored apps and content for said tablet. Samsung must be happy and the students must be happy to get one atleast its a free distraction from the indentured servitude or student loans.
Edit: how about this link

If you want something that is 7inch and has a keyboard I recommend the Viliv S7 its probably the same price as the the eee pad Slider and it can run Windows, Android, Ubuntu or just about any other operating system you want. Plus the battery life is superb at nearly 10 hours and it weighs 1.8 pounds rather than two pounds. The Viliv S7 seems like a better choice for your needs. Here is some demonstrations
