Chris,
I'm aware of adoption especially in areas of hospitals and students.

But here in the UK adoption of tablet is a tiny percentage.

Most places in UK don't even sell them. So we're relying on someone brave in
a corporation to trial their use.

I'm basically coming at it from Mickey's point of view, great technology,
great potential use but to get widespread adoption the obvious answer is a
variety of sizes of Tablet PCs rather than the wall to wall 12 inches that we
seen to have at the moment.

Think filofax sort of size, 8 inches, slate, 30 GB, separate keypad,
lightweight. That ideas got to have potential in the market surely? If sony
can do it to the playstation someone must be able to do it with the tablet OS?
