Scoble on Tablet PCs

Scoble has some comments on tablets. He correctly points out that many customers are waiting for Centrino-based tablets from HP, IBM, and so on, instead of buying lesser-known brands like Acer. My Acer experience so far has been terrific: I bought a 9-month-old demo unit, sent it in for warranty service on Monday, and am expecting it back tomorrow (it’s already shipped) with everything fixed. That’s the same speed and accuracy of service I’ve gotten in the past from Apple and IBM. I do like the idea of a faster Centrino-based tablet, but so far the proc speed of the C102 has been acceptable, especially on a price/performance basis.
