Would I buy a Dell tablet PC, sure, why not?

Have had "problems" with Dell but, most have worked themselves out.

Language barriers, service that went "kaput" but, have enough equipment that assures I will not be out of the loop. Simply fire up another Ax, laptop or desktop.

Up 'n running. Phone time is, most always, a killer though! Loss of that time really t's me off!

If they have something that looks and performs better than the OQO, then maybe.

I'm 110% behind you on that, the iPhone just isn't quite the iTablet and the Modbook by OWC isn't very official.
But if Dell came out with somthing like the Dualcor then that would be heaven.

Nothing is more weird than having an oversized touch screen in your arms. Let me tell ya, a Dell Axim could survive a 6 foot fall (Yes I am an abusive owner :P but heck it still works) but it gets harder if you drop a Tablet from 6 feet (Yes I've done that too) and let me tell you... it ain't pretty at all.
