I just bought new Dell Inspiron Duo netbook-tablet. Looks like "iPad
killer" - runs "normal" operating systems (I installed both Windows 7
and Ubuntu), has a dual-core Intel Atom 1.5 GHz CPU, capacitative
touchscreen (iPad stylus should work too). The 3 main drawbacks - there
is no output for a second monitor, so now I am looking for USB to HDMI
converters, you will also need to get an external DVD drive and the 6
cells batery lasts only about 3 hours and can not be easily replaced
:-(. Other charactersitics - 2 GB RAM, 320 GB 700 RPM HD.
One could expect coming more devices like this in near future.
Congrats on the new gadget.
I'm so glad you got a Duo - please keep us posted with how well it runs
LiveCode. Seems like a perfect blend to have a tablet that doubles as a
laptop, esp. for a LiveCode addict like me where I tend to do a lot of
typing on even my smallest machines.
As I wrote here a couple days ago, I've been very impressed with the
Atom processor, and the form factor of the Dell Duo is as attractive as
it is versatile - it's been the talk of the town in the Ubuntu forums
for weeks.
With Ubuntu Netbook Remix 10.10's uTouch interface, the Duo seems a
hand-in-glove fit for the new OS - video and notes on uTouch here:

I hope your LiveCode experience on the Duo turns out to be a great one.
I look forward to hearing more about how it works for you.
