What I’d love to see in a Tablet PC

We don’t cover Mac news much here unless it relates to the Tablet PC area, but this article from Apple Insider ( via arstechnica ) got me really thinking about a common request amongst mobile users: instantaneous boot. We are starting to see UMPCs coming out with solid-state drives (Samsung Q1 for example), but what about the slates and convertible tablet pcs out there? We’ve been around for quite some time and are desperate for attention

According to Apple Insider, Apple will be releasing a subnotebook in June around WWDC that will likely feature onboard NAND flash for instantaneous booting and power-saving features.

I want nothing more out of my next tablet pc than to be able to have instant boot capabilties. With Vista eating more battery now, those solid-state drive enhancements should help there, as well. Now, OEMs, lets get cooking with some onboard solid-state drive Tablet PCs, ok? Lets don’t let Apple beat you to the punch.
