The “Touch Input War” from the Mobile Phone battle field has spread to the Personal Computers. Again spearheaded by Apple with its iPad and then followed by other like the Samsung Galaxy Tab, Archos 9 PC Tablet, Blackberry Playbook and more. Dell has tablet PCs like the Latitude XT2 and Tablets like Dell Streak in the market now. But I think this device is aimed at the fine line that exists between Tablets and Tablet PCs.
