Wars and Rumours of Wars

The biggest buzz on the Interwebs right now is about the (maybe) Apple tablet. See here for some discussion about how the tablet may redefine the publishing business like the iPod redefined the music business. There're even arguements about what this hypothetical product might be named.

I would buy a tablet from Apple if it would:
Widescreen hi-res
Connect via wireless
Browse the internet
Read books
Have 4+ hours of battery life
Run iTunes and play music, podcasts, TV & movies

I would wait in line like the fanboys if it would:
Do STMP email
Keep my calendar, contacts and to-do list (e.g. run Outlook)
Sync with my Outlook on my laptop
Read magazines and newspapers
Run aps from the iPhone Aps store

Full disclosure: I own an iPod Classic, but not an iPhone or an Apple computer.
