I personally don't think there is any such tablet.
People did not exactly break down doors to get at XP tablets.
Yes, touch screen computing has come a long way since then.
Yes, an Apple tablet would be "cool" and work much better than the Windows ones.
But there's still no glaring need for a device sitting between the iPhone/iPod touch and notebook with full-sized keyboard.
The killer-app, though -- and only Apple could pull this off -- would be a built-in ATSC tuner, along with other media functions like built-in AppleTV. But then there's still the question of price. The thing would need to be priced in the low-end iPod touch's range, which I don't see happening.
My $0.02.
