Where is everything?

Why did you not include the EXOPC in this line up? It's the best Windows based tablet PC available and quashes the iPad on many productivity areas. Or even the ASUS EP 121???

@darkkevind completely agree the EXOPC needs to be included, i checked it out at the recently held Microsoft TechEd and was totally blown away by it. Only lingering issue was the battery life
