I looked into getting a tablet PC a few months ago but I couldn't find one with the features I wanted at a reasonable price.

We've been doing a lot of looking into "multi-touch interfaces" (such as Microsoft Surface and the machines Perceptive Pixel are starting to make) at work lately. It appears these technologies will be reaching the shelves for tablet-size machines in only 2 or 3 years, so I might hold out for that.

I have a 14" Earth LCD model attached to my dash and I've been very happy with it. Going smaller than that really doesn't work when you're needing to look at radar and such...

I have a Panasonic Toughbook, which has touchscreen, and I love it. Handy to do stuff going down the road when you can't look much to use the touchpad.
