Maybe = you mean microsoft apps. Personally, I ditched my pc in 2010, the day I left my day job. I = will never go back. The main feature missing from PC's is the "it = works" feature. I don't have a data point on Android yet but the fact = that it has to support so many different hardware platforms will make it = far more difficult than Apple's problem.

Specifically the ASUS eeePad Transformer TF201? http://www.asus.com/Tablets_Mobile/Eee_Pad_Transformer_Prime_TF201/ Big processor, 8 hours battery (18 with keypad), conventional keyboard, USB port, super bright 600 nit display, NOT an Apple.
