Apple Tablet : Top or Flop ?

Since a few times, rumours are going well concerning a potential Apple touchscreen tablet.

Kind of giant Ipod Touch, it would assure the same functions than most netbooks.

This project seems interesting, but many critics are shouted.

Will the touchscreen keyboard be confortable ? How many developpers are going to get involved in this project to create softwares ?

And above all, how many of you are ready to put their savings in this tablet (because we assume this product will be very expensive),when we can find small notebooks around 400$ ?

More informations and questions at gizmodo or zdnet

So, appeal ? Skepticism ?
