No questions... just a comment that I'm totally jealous.

How is the resolution? In short, what kind of poor man's Cintiq does it make?

It's the exact LCD that came with the MacBook isn't it? Just covered? Maybe I misunderstood. Do you think Apple with be making a tablet anytime in the future? I don't think their Multi-touch technology will just be used on a phone and maybe the new iPod interface...

I think I already know the answer to this, but can you rotate the screen (or more correctly, the display of the GUI elements) to portrait mode?

Also, how frustrating is it for non-character input? Like "Enter" or "Backspace/Delete"?

As much as I like the idea of a portable digital sketchbook, I have gotten extremely used to keyboard modifiers and commands... I'd really have to change my ways of doing things on something like this.

The basic questions I have are as follows:

* I want to use this as a sketchbook; how do programs such as Photoshop, Painter, Curio and Sketchbook Pro work on this?
* How does the 256 level sensitivity affect any work?
* Is it easier or harder to work on this than with a regular laptop and a separate tablet?
* How hard is it to work with outside?
* How does it compare with a Windows TabletPC?
* I'd like to also use this as a general laptop: how well does it work when propped upright? How well does it work with a mouse and keyboard plugged in?
* Any issues with heat?
* What's the battery time like, same as the MacBook?
* How does the GPS work, and will it work with things like a GPS-Map waypoint software (say, route 66 or something?)
* Anything that might cause problems using it as you would a day-to-day laptop?
* I'm worried about how fragile it is; the front cover, from what I've seen, isn't covered when it's transported. Is there some sort of shield so I don't end up with a pencil ruining the Modbook's screen?
* what kind of stylus does it use? Can it use Wacom's other stylii?
* How well does it work with Ink? How well does Ink work, for that matter?

That'll do for a start....

1. Is this a slate tablet (no keyboard), or a convertible (screen swings open and swivels to reveal internal keyboard)?

2. Will it come with or sell with a stand or dock, so you can use it at a desk (with an external usb or bluetooth keyboard and mouse)?

3. The specs page says wireless is "802.11g" - but presumably it's the same 802.11n-capable card that comes with Core 2 Duo MacBooks?

4. If I lose the stylus, what else works? And how much are replacements?

The Questions i have are regarding Apple's Inkwell software itself and how well it functions on the Modbook. How good/bad is it relative to the competition out there and how well does it integrate itself into other programs.
