This would be a deal killer for me - I'm not going to spend the anticipated $600 to $800 for a computer with a crippled OS. The Apple Tablet should allow full integration into my home computing environment, including the ability to run software that I currently run under Leopard - not just applications I download from the App Store. Some might think the iTablet - App Store model would be a huge money maker for Apple (as it has been for the iPod and iPhone) - but I believe long-term sales will suffer if the OS isn't more capable than the iPhone OS. BTW, I still use my Newton - but I don't plan to buy another one ;-) Very cool except for the iPhone OS part.
