10″ doesn’t refer to the size of the screen, but to the distance the UI’s usable at (for example, MCE is a 10′ UI…usable at 10′). Screens will likely be more like 6″ or 7″.

More important than 10″ to me: 1024×768 so I can run apps that insist on this resolution.

I agree with sumocat though, 10″ isn’t wearable. The wearable I carry with me is my Sony eBook reader (Japanese model). It’s 6″ screen barely fits into my pants pocket (custom tailored in ShenZhen) and Eddie Bauer jacket’s inner pocket. And with Energizer e2 lithium AAA’s it definitely runs longer than 12 hours. :-)

How do you wear a Tablet with a 10" screen? I carry mine (10" screen, 12-hour battery, and instant-on using standby, BTW) in a padded ultra-slim sling pack, which is close but still not "worn".

That's what I'm waiting for. Star Trek, here we come.
