At the very least, it's perfectly reasonable to expect schematics for how a prototype could be built.

It is supposed to be good enough that someone "skilled in the art" could build it after reading the patent.

That probably means that the concepts you describe have to be common knowledge to those skilled in the art... basically a commodity. But what is described in this patent is unfeasible and whoever discovers the implementation could be only one of few who could do it.

The problem is that when they say "wireless" what they mean is that they enumerated every possible wireless tech and probably any future tech.

With WiFi alone a tablet that is using the tablet equivalent of OnLive is possible.
