Beam me up!
@ Stephen
I'm guessing David is a Star Trek fan and he's hankering for one of those nifty Pads that have with the processing power of a Star Ship at their disposal.
@Stephen
Er.. there are plenty around. they just ain't called netbooks... they are/were called UMPCs.
samsung, acer, they all made em.
I have a Sony UX1 (which does have a slide out keyboard admittedly).
