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.
