This is not something new for this type of machine, but there is no sign of success over 20 years. Now, Apple is trying to go for it by introducing their latest machine - ipad.
To me this is a bigger version of iphone or ipod, I have already predicted Apple is going to build this, following by their great success of launching iphone/ipod. FYI, around 7m iphone was sold ;) and I have 1 of those.
The features are listed in apple website:

For me the price is not over tagged, so I think they should be able to hunt the targetted market down - $499 per ipad. The only dissapointment is no webcam, which I believe they are going to split the peripherals out to reduce the cost.
