I want a 10 inch touch screen tablet so I can sit on my couch, watch TV and do graphics design work.

Looking forward to Inkscape on a MeeGo tablet... ahhhh...

No guarantees though. There are resistive screens with multi-touch support, but it likely requires hardware support the N900 lacks.

Just have to wait and see.

That does look pretty good! And pre-alpha: that's only an alpha stage away from normal Nokia release quality, should be out soon!

Seriously though, it does look pretty nice. Hopefully they'll get one of those out pretty soon.

Six hour battery life, they said. Not iPad's advertised 10 hours (IIRC), but way better than ExoPC Slate's three hours (thanks to Windows 7).

Why would someone want a tablet with a three hour battery life? When a tablet really rocks is when you can use it all day, like our beloved N8x0s.

I'm not sure how I feel about the UX. A flashy UX is OK with me as long as you don't sacrifice functionality & responsiveness & as long as it doesn't get in the way.

Not bad for x86, for sure. Intel has a long way to go though.

The UI probably needs work, certainly in how the back-end handles long load times and transitions between interfaces. Stuff just "appearing" and rendering partially shouldn't happen, instead fading into a completely rendered interface. But that's all refinements once the system is up and working (but before it goes out on devices.)

Different generation of hardware - the MeeGo x86 tablet is based on Moorestown while the ExoPC is based on the previous generation Pine View chipset. Not saying Windows 7 isn't responsible for the cr@p battery life, but it's probably not entirely at fault so you can't really compare a Pine View tablet with one based on Moorestown.

Yep, forgot about the processor.

On a somewhat-related note, here's an article I found interesting that focuses on using the iPad (sorry!), but most of it would apply to the tablet form factor in general and thus most tablets of a similar size.

The author's most consistent complaint is figuring out how to hold it to type. That makes me realize how easy my N810 is to hold & type with my thumbs. But you can't do that with a 10" tablet, right? And it's apparently awkward to put it on your lap or desk and type. The author talks about holding it with his thumbs and typing with his eight fingers. Hmmmm...
