Further requirements to make a tablet desirable
1 Decent amounts of storage. 64GB is inadequate. This, of course, means a disk drive, and a substantial increase in weight, but without adequate storage a machine is pretty much a toy.
2 Abitlity to drive a decent-sized monitor at the resolution the monitor actually supports, not just the resolution of the inherent screen spread over a bigger surface.
3 Ability to use an external keyboard and pointing device.
4 Ethernet port for high-speed networking.
5 Infra-red two-way interface (so it can replace my many remote control units!).
6 HDMI I/O.

Pretty much, a machine that can do what a desktop does, or disconnect from peripherals and still be useful. The built-in keypad and stand are attractive, but it needs to interconnect with other devices without requiring a docking port to be carried around.
