Anyone know anything about the new Thinkpad Tablet?

[roguerower]

I'm looking to replace my Asus 1101 netbook and i'm currently trying to decide between a new Llano netbook, the Asus Transformer, or the Thinkpad Tablet.

The Llano netbook will obviously be the most powerful of the three and be the most flexible because it'll be running Windows 7. The Transformer and Thinkpad are both on Android and will have it's app market to support them, however it seems to me that the Thinkpad is more focused on the business aspect and the stylus input is a BIG bonus.

Anyone have any advice or point out any reviews/shootouts?

Can you wait a few months? TF2 with Kal-El looks like the best bet to me. I think Asus confirmed 2011 release.

Yep, I can wait, the netbook still works and I've got a desktop backup just in case!

Just wondering between the three of them which would be the best choice.

I've never really understood why people say this. Can you clarify what makes it more focused?

IMHO, until Android has L3 SSLVPN support it is useless for business.

Best bet, Get the Asus Transformer, the keyboard dock and you are set. It has a Keyboard and touchpad, just like using a laptop. Battery life is 9 hours or real use. If you're needing it for business, it comes with Polaris Office. By far the best Office/Productivity app for Android.

I've looked it over a lot, and I want it...but I really also want to wait for the Kal-El tablets. Torn. Waiting on a review from a guy over at Thrive forums, but they seem to be pretty good so far except for the speaker quality.

Stylus for writing notes instead of scribling with a finger. Matte case instead of glossy. Full size storage inputs.

I said "more business oriented", and since there's not a whole lot of difference hardware or software wise, the 1st reason I listed is a major upside for anyone looking at a tablet for work rather than play. No, it doesn't have the full security support that you want, but none of the others do either.

Calm the fuck down.

We have two WiFi 32GB models on order that should be shipping around 9/12. However, any information you can find on the 'net is exactly what you want. There are no more secrets, etc.

From the reviews I briefly liked at the thinkpad is supposed to come with some business oriented software andsecurity stuff. Could be mistaken though.

Was I not calm? :confused;
