I don’t know, I think I got pretty much every major function (though I didn’t expect iWork). And for price, what matters is the starting price, not the many different versions. If they had a lowest price at, say, $800, that would be a totally different animal. I did miss the wireless syncing; I do think we’ll be seeing that pretty soon though.

No it doesn’t…primarily for reading? looks to be a much more versatile, all around mobile device where reading is only one facet. 3G is a major component and no double plan here, its a pay as you go. Also wifi is on the iphone/itouch and still uses cable for update, probably this will be most likely the case. And with price you really covered every possible price range so its hard to say you nailed that one. Oh and one last thing, still has to sync so not really a stand alone device. It would appear that in both the previous comment and your mac world article you didn’t actual come that close…oh it is a tablet though so props there.

Well, it looks like you got it all right, except, unfortunately, for wireless syncing. Too bad, since that is one of my top feature requests for the iPod touch. At least IMAP mail syncs automatically when it is connected to the internet.

All I know is that if the tablet allows wireless syncing to your computer as you think, then Apple had better have an iPhone OS update that lets me do the same with my iPod touch.
