wow, what a rip off, hp produces far superior tablets at half the price, don't know what dell was thinking with this one, hope they get it right the second time around.

I own one of these.

I have constant issues with it:

* Touch doens't work properly

* Buttons to rotate screen from portrait to landscape don't work

* I have to touch the screen with the stylus about 1" to the right of where I really want to click because the screen pointer and stylus aren't in sync

* Whether it switches to portrait when I turn the screen around and cover the keyboard is totally random

As a pc it's great - as a tablet - it's shocking.

I don't know whether it's because I re-installed it with Vista (which came with it) - and Vista is the problem.

Has the XT got multitouch capabilities yet (drivers etc) ?

If you drop the price about $1,000 and add a built in GPS unit it might be useful for mapping. I would never pay that much for a laptop with those specs. Sorry.

First I waited for the ATG620 to be overall improved in functionality and lighter, too. The ATG630 finally came: slightly better, still not spillproof, older conectivities and interfaces.

Whoa! Then the XT Tablet arrived! I was very excited!

Then I read the reviews, the specs, and finally the cost. (Cough) Utter Disappointment. Ridiculous for last year's and the year before's technology.

I wanted this to be a specifically business rugged laptop/tablet: light, somewhat durable (how about a spilled drink or sudden spring shower?), have every state-of-the- art connectivity, longer battery life and the big one: the outdoor screen. Not too much, you would think. Hmm. Guess it IS too much, for Dell Hey, even HPs have Altec Lansing stereo speakers on their tablets!

So, am considering the back ups now: the Panasonics, the new Toshibas, etc; any and all and that can physically and technically handle a whole day of normal activities in this year 2008, are quite viewable anywhere/any time and don't require a credit line with the company to buy one.

I buy only Dell for my office.

I have been a Latitude fan for years. I have been waiting for the tablet for some time. I had planned on buying one. I have to say. it's under powered and I was hoping for a bit more. I need a docking station with the capability of 2 additional monitors and a built in camera. Today I answered the Dell survey on security. I please that Dell is interested in my business concerns. I hope Dell fixes the XT before I need my next computer. I would love to replace my Latitude D630 for an XT but I can not power.

Dell please give me an XT with the D630 specs, Add a built in web cam and two aditional monitor capability from the docking station and you will have me.

Thanks, Trying to stay a Loyal Dell consumer

hopefully for the property tax payers in Ron's state/district, he has more sense than to overpay by $1k per tablet for technology with questionable merit/use.
