I position a tablet as a consumer device. Web surfing, watching video, a
little texting. A student slate must support creativity, especially
writing. At the same time I see the qwerty keyboard as an obstacle, hard to
learn, impossible to use while holding the slate. I want HWR as good as the
Newton, and buttons for a chording keyboard along the bottom on both sides.
Buttons support two handed use or one handed, either side. For those who
prefer classic keyboard, plug in a USB model.

So much of what I want just isn't there. But it is possible.
