 Microsoft Origami
It looks like today (2nd March) Microsoft will be announcing a tablet PC of their own. There have been rumours of this for quite a while, and someone even found a video of it.
From the video it looks like it has wireless capabilities (including being able to act as a remote for Media Centre) as well as a media player etc.
This week looks to be pretty interesting for the gadget world especially since Apple just announced their iPod Hifi and Intel-based Mac mini...

It doesn't much look like an attractive product, looks like a huge home pregnancy kit (the colour and style)
:S

I agree with the views above.
I'm sure that's just a mock up. The final product will be much different hopefully.

It looks just like an iPod. Simlpe and gets the job done in a good way.(That doesn't mean it looks nice though)
But it does look good in my opinion. Obviously it sounds as if it has some great features, which is a good sales pitch. I like the remote Media Center control idea.
Overall, if I was needing it, and has the money, I would buy it.

Thats the monitor from the video 
This looks pretty interesting, I wonder how much they will cost when they launch.
