Well, OS is one part of it, but I believe this will be a platform play ala iPhone, and question there is whether MS can still rally the forces around a unified strategy, as they did many a times back in the days of Bill.

wow, I'm really looking forward to this device, I wonder if they currently have a physical device or just a 3d rendering?

I am including the video of the one handed SoftFrog on tablets and iPhone. These are both in Alpha stage, yet are working very well. Because the FrogPad IP is multi touch, we are using both multi touch and single touch technologies on our SoftFrog. FrogPad is a proven User Interface on one handed hardware..

I suggest that it can be an alternative/additional user interface for all Multi Touch applications.

I hope that it is Windows 7 or Windows 7 embedded. XP, Vista, or CE will not be the best options for this product.

The question is, will this product make it to market? I really hope so. It could be the next technology leap that our industry needs. The ZuneHD proves that MS can indeed make a great product that lives up to the hype…

First off, this is a really cool looking prototype. Second, I would hearken to what others raise; namely, when will the real product ship and what’s the OS and tools side of the equation, as Apple has pretty much shown this to be the bar for success.

Clearly, Apple learned this lesson from Microsoft (in PC 1.0) but MS feels long removed from those days (i.e., cultivating and growing a software centered ecosystem), especially in light of all of the legacy that they have to support.

Btw, here are some thoughts on where Apple’s Tablet and the e-Book is headed:
