A Kiwi friend of mine sent this my way today. Not sure if others have seen this, but new on my radar.
High-tech hardware solution provider Axiotron today introduced two new configurations of the Modbookâ„¢, its award-winning tablet Mac computer for creative professionals. The new configurations, available immediately, include 2.1 GHz or 2.4 GHz Intel Coreâ„¢ 2 Duo processors and 120GB or 160GB 5400-rpm hard drives, respectively, making the Modbook up to twice as fast and powerful as any slate-style tablet PC.
Anyone?

Jeff – a second party Apple tablet was best of show at Macworld 2 years ago … not sure how well they sell though.
As of Macworld thsi year they had not yet shipped one. As cool as it was, ramping the production up was more difficult.

It looks like they may have started shipping but I have not actually seen reviews:

By teh way OWC makes awesome hard drives.
I saw this a long time ago. I’ve also seen photos of people creating their own Apple tablet pcs, pretty impressive.
The problem is that those screen tablets tend to still be of a lesser quality than, for example, a Wacom tablet. But, having both, I have to say that a tablet pc is really good for use in school.
