Gizmodo takes a look at the latest generation of the Axiotron Modbook tablet:
“The people who are in the market for a ModBook are people who want to draw and make art with a laptop, but have another computer for their normal email and internet browsing. If you’re one of these people, the ModBook is a definite buy. For others who just want a touchscreen MacBook so they can do art sometimes, but rely on a keyboard most of the time and want a regular laptop more often than not, the ModBook isn’t quite right, and we recommend a standard Wacom tablet instead.”
I still think Apple needs to be the one to design a Tablet PC. Imagine what its engineering team can do.
I guess the other thing Axiotron illustrates is that aftermarket Tablets are possible. Is it time to do the same with a Netbook? 
Oh, and as an aside, it looks like we still need to educate the press about what is a “touchscreen” and what is not. Heh.
Update: Turns out Axiotron has a new offering: A 15″ Modbook Pro for $5k.
