Tablets are a niche good only for viewing content. They are useless for creating content or doing any real work. So why try to base one off a full-blown desktop OS?

HP gave up on Win 7 but they haven't given up on tablets. They're just going to use a leaner, faster and more appropriate OS.
You have to think outside the box.

Connect one to a video camera and use it view , record, and control the camera.

Use it for home automation. Control all the lights, TV's audio systems and security camera's all from one place.

Mount one in a car. Use it for music GPS and video playback.

Would be great for Djing.

Might be good for rts type games.
