You know of course someone has already done this, Rupert?
Look up Axiotron for their ModBook© >

Not sure how they got past Mr Jobs and his IP police but there you go.

Well, according to the Modbook entry in Wikipedia...

"The ModBook which has been slated for April during the MacWorld exhibition has been delayed indefinitely due to component shortage by Axiotron. According to the Axitron order web site, the ModBook will become first available in the United States and Canada, followed by selected regions and countries worldwide in the fourth quarter of 2007"

which means that IF there is a real Apple tablet, that's really being made as I type by one of the Macbook suppliers, then they'll be royally shafted in short order. Or if the Modbook is... perhaps... slightly more vaporous than one might think?
