- Pixel Qi or similar screen (http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2010/01/the-pixel-qi-display/ ). 1024x768 (instead of x600) would be nice.

- Thrifty CPU/chipset (e.g. 1GHz ARM, etc.), for day-long battery.

- Video out (e.g. mini-DP, for presentations, etc.)

- Easy to install your own OS. Seems there's already Linux underneath WebOS; if HP is not selling hardware at a loss, it might as well profit from unsupported (software wise) customers ...

I am building a tablet from scratch with identical specs based on the Tegra developer kit. Will post about it on HN once the project is farther along. Ive waited for others to deliver features I want for too long, time to build my own.

Sounds like the Adam from Notion Ink: http://www.notionink.in/adamoverview.php

Except for the resolution (which is 1024x600 for that one as well). I don't know how you can claim "Full High Definition Multimedia" without offering even a 720p screen.
