Ordered a Tablet
Well today I finally went ahead and ordered a Tablet PC, an Acer TMC104CTi from costco.com. The main reason I went for this unit is that Costco has a six month return policy and you can return it to any local Costco store.
I'm really interested in finding out if the tablet will work for what I want, but I'm also really concerned about ending up with a piece of shelfware. Since I'm a Mac OS X user, the biggest barrier to accepting this thing is whether or not I can tolerate the highly proprietary nature of all the file formats involved. We'll see how I feel about it once I get the unit in hand. I'll be posting much more about my experience with it as I go forward. I suspect it will take a week or two before the unit arrives.
