I've been looking at the tablet PCs that are supposed to hit the scene around Nov 7th. To me, these seem like they would be perfect (in portrait mode) for deep reading.
My only hope is that we may someday be able to get tablets PCs with something other than WinXP Tablet edition.
Anyone hear any rumors of a MAC or other non-MS tablet PC offering on the horizon?

Cross-platform on the two OS's that actually have a competitive desktop and user base. OS X and Windows. You won't really have 'cross-platform' solution if you exclude the MAC community.
Space exploration *is* a dangerous activity. While lots of planning and quality control is important, so is making significant advances and getting something done.

We don't want to trade go-fever for sit-on-your-butt-itis.
