If the Mini9 keyboard is Ok for you, then I guess the MS keyboard won't be a problem. I never could get used to the one on J's, what with the half-size keys on part of the board, etc. ;-)

I think the Archos 80 G9 Turbo is a nice size - smaller than an iPad, but big enough for tolerable screen space. I haven't used it a lot, but I like it. It runs ICS. Apparently one can use Bluetooth keyboards with these things (haven't tried it myself). You're not going to run Linux Mint on it, of course, but people have hacked Debian to run on some of them. http://liliputing.co...inux-android.html

Maybe Intel will get pissed off enough at MS to bring out their own tablet. Oh, they did, sorta - http://www.intel.com...rience-video.html

[edit:] Duh. Archos has an Intel/Winders tablet - http://www.archos.co...ountry=us&lang=en $500 list price.

Cheers,
Scott.
