Perfect link. Thanks!

All of them have either a stylus, are cluttered with buttons all over the place or have a stock WinXP which is totally useless for touch.

For these reasons, all of them failed terribly and nobody bought them. I haven't seen one of these IRL.

I see my point proven, so thanks again for the link.

No. Many of those tablets have features (eg, rectangular shape with rounded corners) that are supposed to be not obvious.

It's more evidence that a lot of iPad is evolutionary not revolutionary. See also PDAs which contain a bunch of features which are covered by patents. (a big menu button at the bottom centre of the screen).
