Tablets reborn

Have you seen the new HP TouchSmart tx2? Development of the tablet PC now with HP's TouchSmart technology. It looks pretty awesome and is getting some good reviews but I could only find it on the US HP site - come on UK don't dilly dally!!

Key thing for me is if Windows 7 will support this device - if I can determine this than I'm going to be making another personal purchase real soon. At £799  expected RRP the family might have to miss out on a summer holiday again - but I must have my precious!

Can't wait to get coding against a real multi-touch device under Windows 7 - its so COOL!!

I still have the HP TC1000 and TC1100 tablets - the forerunners to this style of 'conversion' tablet design. I love these devices because they work so well, and I can drop the kb and go slate. But the processor power and support for Vista/Win7 just isn't there - so its time for an upgrade.
