The problem with Microsoft and mobile devices is they always want to put their operating systems in them and their OS's are hogs which results in mobile devices that are not that mobile really.

So I we will see about this thing. If they can make it significantly small (i.e., much smaller than a netbook) it may be useful. But if it is around the size of a small laptop or netbook (which is the what it looks like), it will be utterly pointless, people will just use laptops instead. And if they are serious about putting windows 7 in it, then it will probably be the size of a laptop.

I can think of much better form factors than a laptop or netbook for reference material.
